Most of our walkers finish around 12 or 12:30 p.m. so give us a try!
There is no strict time limit on the course, and water stations stay open until the last racer crosses the finish line! (usually by 1:30 p.m.) Throughout the course, there are volunteers on bikes with cell phones, plus volunteers at the water stations with cell phones, so if you need ANYTHING—ask for help! Even if you need a ride down, we can help!
