All full marathon participants must past mile 11 by 8:50am which is at 15:27 mile pace. If you do not make it to Mile 11 by 8:50am then you will be re-routed to the half marathon course to the finish line.

Those picked up will be shuttled to approximately mile 8.8 and their bib numbers will be documented. Full and half marathon participants will be allowed to continue from this point only, and will receive a finishers medal when they cross the finish line. However, they will not receive a finish time and will be listed as DNF (did not finish) and will not be eligible for any awards.
