🏃♂️ Welcome Back Runners!! This is the 11th Running!!!
The Sorry 'Bout That 1/2 Marathon and Team Relay is back for 2025. Hopefully it will be above freezing this year on race day, but not by much.
🗺️ Course Details
The course will be anti-clockwise this year, meaning a downhill start and downhill finish, with a large uphill in the middle miles. Two aide stations and one portajohn will be on the course. Anti-clockwise means it goes the opposite direction of an old clock with hands. All turns on the course are to the left except for one.
🎖️ Finisher Medals
Free Finisher Medals with entry and finish. If you enter the race and don't run, you will not get a medal.
👕 T-Shirts
This year T-shirts are at an extra cost. I have been informed by the accountants that the race cannot afford to keep losing money every year. The T-shirt option was turned off on 12/29/2024.
🎭 Costume Bonus
Wear a costume and get a :30 second head start.
