A USATF-certified course is a road race course whose distance has been certified for accuracy.

Courses must be certified for any road running performance to be accepted as a record or to be nationally ranked. Furthermore, running a race on a certified course allows you to accurately compare your time to performances run on other certified courses because you can be sure the distances were the same. No one can truly establish a personal best if the course distance is not accurate.

Why are there no disposable cups at the water stations you may ask? Cup-less water station video

1. Safety of runners and volunteers: We want to ensure the safety of all runners and volunteers by removing the urge to chase after a wayward cup into traffic.
2. Environmentally Sound Practice: In an average year we would have used over 60,000 cups that cannot be recycled. And littering is just not cool.
3. Healthier: Our foot pedal unit allows runners to dispense their own water hands free at 10oz per second and away you go.
4. We have a great option if you forgot your own cup: You can buy a reusable cup for $3 at packet pickup or race day check-in.
