Amenities include bag check (single clear-bag policy), portable bathrooms, on-course and finish hydration, and post-race refreshments including bagels and fresh fruit. Bibs are distributed in the Festival Area on race day; members may have bibs mailed if registration meets the organizer’s mailing deadline and U.S. address requirements. Strollers and dogs are not allowed. Time limits apply and participants may be removed from course support if they fall behind pace.
