Event Cut-off Times

Marathon Course Cut-off times – Athletes must reach the main road bridge on the return leg by 3pm.

Competitors who do not make these cut off times will unfortunately not be permitted to continue due to time constraints.  Official Event Closure Time: Due to course management and road closure restrictions, the course will officially be closed to all runners and walkers at 5:00pm.

We welcome walkers in the Half Marathon, 10KM and 5km distances. Due to time constraints we do not allow walkers in the marathon event. We ask all walkers to start behind the runners in the designated section at the start line and give way to runners at all times.
