| ENTRIES & ELIGIBILITY |
900 entries, open to anyone 16 years of age or older, capable of walking or running 21 miles over a hilly course at a brisk pace (15 mpm). This is a NON-COMPETITIVE timed fitness event and participants are not eligible for awards. You must finish the 21-Miler under 6 hours and 30 minutes to be considered an official finisher. Sorry, no animals, pacers, skates, skateboards, bikes, baby joggers or children/infants in backpacks allowed on the course. No bandits. No exceptions. |
| COURSE TIME LIMIT |
Our permit from the California Dept. of Transportation limits the 21-Miler to a finishing time of 6 hours and 30 minutes, a pace of about 16 mpm. The following rules will apply to all participants:
Finishing Time of 6 hours and 30 minutes or less:
Participants that finish the 21-Miler in 6 1/2 hours or less (chip time) will be presented with the Big Sur International Marathon 21-Miler finishers' medallion, receive an official finishers' certificate and an official results book with their official time.
Finishing Time of more than 6 hours and 30 minutes:
Because Highway One is open to two way traffic immediately following the official close of the race, all aid stations must be dismantled and removed from the course prior to the reopening of the highway. This means that there will be NO SUPPORT (i.e., no water, no medical personnel and no communications personnel) for race participants on the course once the aid stations have been dismantled.
| |
Because of safety concerns, if a participant has not reached Mile 22 by the 5 1/2 hour mark, he/she will not be allowed to proceed past that point. |
| |
Transportation will be provided to finish area for those race participants who have not reached the 22 mile mark in the time allotted.
An early start is not available. The 21-Miler begins at 6:30 A.M. |
| HEADPHONES |
In accordance to the recommendations of USATF and the Road Runner's Club of America, we are requesting that you do not use Ipods or other headsets during the event. Disobeying this rule will not result in disqualification, but you will compromise your safety and that of others by wearing a headset. If you insist on wearing a headset we ask that you stay to the far left side of the runners lane due to approaching vehicles in the right lane. We truly hope you'll opt to leave your headsets at home and instead let the incredible scenery and music we provide on the course serve as your motivation and inspiration. |
