You may not change your corral Race Morning.  When in doubt, go conservative and give yourself a chance to wow!

There is no gear check for this event.  Please leave any items you do not wish to carry on your run in your car or with friends and family.

Please review the course map here.  There will be plenty of aid stations along the course, staffed with our awesome volunteers and providing you with cold water and various flavors of Heed electrolyte drink.  Heed is awesome, but trust us--do not take it if you have never trained with it.  This is true of all nutrition and hydration during exertion--don't try something for the first time during your race.  Stick with what you know you like and what works for you.

There will also be nurses and medical staff situated at various aid stations along the course.  Be smart, and if you're having an issue, please let one of them check you out. 

Please review the Course Map and Aid Station listing on the website to familiarize yourself with the location of the aid stations, restroom facilities, medical assistance, and those aid stations offering Hammer Gels. 

Please be courteous to our volunteers and thank them for coming out to assist us!

The weather looks promising, with the rains held at bay and temps in the high 50s...should be a perfect day for a great race!  In the event it does rain, the race will continue.

Plan to hang out with friends and family at the Finish Area at Discovery Park following the race.  We will have food and lots of cool stuff to check out at the Expo, including free product samples, product demonstrations, and Raffle Prizes!

A limited number of additional food tickets will be available Race Morning.  Please bring cash.

Award Ceremony will begin at 11:00am.  All winners must be present to receive an award.

Our abfab photog Keith Facchino of Facchino Photography will be onsite capturing your epic race!  Photos will be available early next week, here.  However, we will also email you when they are posted, and the link will be accessible via the River City Marathon page on the ERT website.
