Bus to start
The start is located just beyond Sculptured Rocks. in Groton (13.1 miles away). We bus half marathoners out to their starting location.
The final bus leaves NMMS PARKING LOT at 8 AM SHARP!!
Runners can stay on the bus while waiting for the start if they wish. There will be porta-potties at the start line. Please respect the neighbors who are supportive of our race events.
You can leave your runner bag on the bus with any items/clothing you want returned to the middle school cafeteria. You can pick the bag up at the end of the race.
PLEASE NOTE: We are asking all half marathoners to ride the bus and not be dropped off at starting line. The drop off causes road safety issues and bogs down the buses and the runners.
Our race has a seven-hour time limit. Runners still on the course after this mark will not have access to support or finish line services. An early start can be arranged in advance upon request.
