Logistics and rules
Registration notes indicate no day-of-race registration and a last chance to register at Saturday packet pick-up. There is a "No Shirt" registration option that reduces the fee by $10; race shirts are not guaranteed for registrations after March 15. Listed entry fees (Mar 16 to packet pickup) are $90 for the marathon, $80 for the half-marathon, and $65 for the 10K. Registration fees are non-refundable except for official military deployment.
The event enforces a strict 13:45 minutes per mile cut-off, roughly equivalent to a 6 hour marathon, 3 hour half-marathon, and 1 hour 25 minute 10K; participants who cannot meet these paces will be redirected or driven back to the Xenia YMCA. Packet pickup is at the Xenia YMCA with times listed for Saturday and Sunday. Organizers recommend using the Lowe's parking lot at 126 Hospitality Dr; the YMCA lot will be closed at 7am with exceptions. Timing chips are disposable and attached to the back of the bib. Running strollers are not permitted; walking strollers must start at the back and still meet cut-offs. Animals are not permitted except licensed service dogs coordinated with race staff.
