Important Information
  • Race day registration ends promptly at 7:30 a.m., and is strongly discouraged. Please allow plenty of time to park.
  • Course control and aid stations will close on the 5K and ½ Marathon courses at a 15-minute per mile pace, equivalent to a finishing time of over 3 hours for the ½ Marathon and 45 minutes for the 5K. Runners who do not maintain this pace may continue, but should be aware that there may be no water stations, course volunteers, or traffic control. The finish line will remain open until 11:45 a.m.
  • Late registered runners are not guaranteed to receive a t-shirt. To be assured of receiving one, your entry must be received by April 9th.
  • Entry fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.
  • NO PETS will be allowed on the course or HINU’s campus. Roller blades, skateboards, bicycles, and non-registered runners will not be allowed on the course. Baby strollers and wagons will be allowed in the Fun Run only.  New USATF regulations prohibit the use of audio devices/headphones in road races.
  • Winners of age groups (generally five-year increments) will receive awards in both the ½ Marathon and 5K. The number of awards in each division will be determined by the number of early-registered runners.
  • All finishers in the Fun Run, ages 12 and under, will receive a ribbon.
  • Registered runners may confirm their entry by clicking here.  Please contact us if there are any errors or omissions.
  • Action Sports Images will be taking photographs. These will be available for purchase after the race at actionsportsimages.com
  • Race  organizers reserve the right  to postpone or cancel the event if hazardous conditions exist.
