   Important Note About The Half Marathon:

   There is a railroad crossing on the route. The railroad company is helping us organize around the train schedule and we currently do not expect any train traffic on race day - However - if a train passes by on race day, you must stop until the train has passed. For this reason, we can not 100% guarantee that your run will be uninterrupted.

   We will know the train schedule 7 days out and aim to alter the start time so that you can run straight through!
