* THE 5M MARK ON THE RETURN IS ONLY 1 MILE FROM THE START AND THE FINISH SO WE ASK THAT YOU BE AT THE 5M SPLIT BY 140 (13:44/PER MILE). IF YOU ARE OVER THE 140 TIME AT 5 MILES WE ASK THAT YOU STOP AND WALK BACK TO THE START/FINISH AS YOU DID NOT MAKE THE CUT-OFF. WE ONLY PAY TO KEEP AGENCIES (POLICE/FIRE/MEDIC/RANGERS) FOR SO LONG AND FOR YOUR SAFETY YOU MUST REMAIN UNDER THE CUTOFF PACE OF A 13:44 MIN PER MILE WHICH WE FEEL IS VERY REASONABLE FOR A HALF-MARATHON RUNNER.
