Race Logistics:

  • Course Map: Make sure to check out the Course Map to see detailed information.

  • Wave Start: We will start in waves of about 20 people. The 1/2 marathon will be split into 3 groups based on bib number. The 10k will be split into 2 groups. We expect about 130 runners! Also, we ask that if you run an 8 minute mile or faster to start in front, 8-10 minute milers start in the middle, and 10+ minute milers start towards the back of the wave.

  • Start times will be:

    • 1/2 Marathon - Wave 1 - 10:10 a.m.

    • 1/2 Marathon - Wave 2 - 10:13 a.m.

    • 1/2 Marathon - Wave 3 - 10:16 a.m.

    • 10k - Wave 1: 10:19 a.m.

    • 10k - Wave 2: 10:22 a.m.

  • Where to line up: We will be announcing the waves and bib numbers the morning of the race. We will get each wave in groups, line the first wave up and have the second wave on deck, and so on until everyone starts.

  • Water Stations: We’ll have 5 water/nutrition/first aide stations heading north on the course and the same 5 heading south after the turn around - and of course one station at the end of the race. Here are the mile markers:

    • Mile 1

    • Mile 2.4

    • Mile 3.1 (10k turn around)

    • Mile 4.5

    • Mile 6.55 (1/2 turn around)

  • Spectator Locations: There are 4 locations for spectators to cheer you on!

    • Monkey Bar and Grille: The Start/Finish Line - there will be plenty of parking and things to do here, while the race is going on.

    • Cartridge Brewing: 2.25 mile marker - there is ample parking and it’s a great place to grab a drink before/after the runners have passed.

    • South Lebanon Trailhead: 4.5 mile marker (1/2 marathoners only) - There is enough parking to accommodate large crowds and a shelter if the weather isn’t on our side (the forecast looks great though!)

    • Stubbs Mills Road: 6.55 mile marker (1/2 marathoners only) - Parking is tighter here, but available. Parking is about a half mile north of the 1/2 marathon turn around point, so you will need to park and walk south until you see the water station/turnaround point.

  • Additional Information:

    • Staff Identification: If you need help before, during or after the race look for a navy blue shirt with STAFF written across the back.

    • Trail Conditions: The trail is mostly flat with small elevation variations. Just like any pavement be cautious of rocks and eroding pavement. The trial is mostly shaded, so it should keep the sun off of you for the majority of the time.


Finishing the Race:

  • The most important goal of this race is to encourage each other to do our best. Each of us have our own running story and we know the feeling of accomplishing a goal, so make sure to encourage those around you. If you see a star on someones bib that means it’s their first race, so help us boost them up!

  • Once you finish the race, find a friend and take a selfie! Make sure to tag @DoGoodMission on Instagram.

  • ATTENTION: Late sign-ups may not receive a medal.
