    $75.14

    We will be allowing 50 half marathoners running or rucking to start early, but only on the basis they need the extra time to meet the cutoffs. 1) I understand that while the course will be marked, there is a chance that aid stations will not be manned by the time I arrive at them. 2) I am signing up for this category because I believe the extra time will be necessary for me to make the cutoff, not because I want to finish early. I will not use headphones so I can hear runners behind me, and I will move the the side when runners approach to pass.
