You will START next to the Parachute Jump, lined up behind the arches and standing on yellow place markers. At the start you run towards the boardwalk, Half Marathon runners turn right (west) and follow the boardwalk for approximately .1 miles to a U-TURN marker, turn around at the U Turn by crossing the boardwalk to the beachside and running back towards the start (east). 10K & 5K runners turn left after starting, run east, and follow the boardwalk for approximately 1.5 miles to the end. At the end of the boardwalk, you turn around and return by running on the street side of the boardwalk. When you get close to the start location you will be directed to turn right immediately before the carousel, go down the slope and around the carousel. Behind the carousel you will either go right to finish or left to continue running more loops. The entire course requires that half marathon runners complete the 3.27-mile loop four times. 10K runners complete a 3.1-mile loop twice and 5K runners complete a 3.1-mile loop once.
Support stations with Poland Spring water, Gatorade, and power gels will be located at THREE POINTS on the course. You will access these multiple times, thus providing you with support approximately every 1.5 miles. When you take a beverage or gel from the support station, please exit the area immediately so that other participants can access the space.
