Finish location: 4th Street behind Rehoboth Beach Running Company (301 Rehoboth Avenue, at the shops at the Pearl). PACKET PICK UP Friday, December 1, 2:00 P.M. - 8:00 P.M. Packet Pick up is Friday December 1st, 2017 across from Rehoboth Beach Running Company (301 Rehoboth Avenue). 2:00-8:00pm. Saturday, December 2, 5:30 A.M. - 6:45 A.M. There will also be race day pick up. It will be located at the Rehoboth Bandstand (race start) available between 5:45 - 6:45 am. Arrive early to avoid crowds or a late race start. Please do not show up at 6:50 to pick up your packet. Other people can pick up your bib. They should bring a note from you and a copy of your ID. The note can be an email. PARKING There is plenty of free parking for packet pick up and race day. You cannot park on 4th street for packet pick up as we will be starting to set up the finish line. Volunteers, staff, and runners should not park on 4th street on Friday. ON THE COURSE Both courses start at the bandstand in Rehoboth and end at Rehoboth Beach Running Company at 301 Rehoboth Avenue. They are together until mile 3. They join together again on the Junction Breakwater trail and finish together. About half of the course is on flat, hard packed trail. I will send out a map soon and paper maps will be available race weekend. UNOFFICIAL BAG CHECK There is an unofficial bag check. There are numbered bins at the starting line. We will transport those items to the finish. It is not secure. You should not put valuables in the bins. Items not picked up by the end of race weekend, will be donated. (NOTE: we are not responsible for lost items). FUEL AND HYDRATION There are water and Gatorade stops about every two miles. A variety of Gu brand gels and Gu chomps will be at the Grove Park water stop.( Mile 5 on the half marathon course) ( 20 on the full marathon course). They will also be at the entrance to Cape Henlopen State park (full marathon miles 9 and 12). We don’t put gels anywhere near the trails, as some people are careless with their wrappers. The wrappers are hard to clean up on the trail. We don’t want to lose our park permit and we don’t want wrappers going somewhere we can’t access. BATHROOMS/PORT-O-POTTIES There are regular bathrooms and port-o-potties at the start. There are bathrooms/port-o-potties located about every 2 miles along the course. TRASH Please remember, most of the marathon course will be held on the beautiful Delaware State Park trails. For those running the full marathon they will experience the beautiful trails in Gordon Pond Wildlife Area, Cape Henlopen State Park, and Junction and Breakwater Trail. Please do your part to help us keep these state treasures clean. Please don't throw down trash anywhere, except right by a water stop. TIME LIMIT The time limit is 7 hours for both races. There will be food and drinks for all participants and guests.
