The Experience

A half marathon event on the shores of Lake Erie - at Presque Isle State Park.  Registration will include a triblend short sleeve race shirt, finisher's medal and post race refreshments.

Location: This event is held on a state park, which requires certain limitations. Thus, there is a 3 hour time limit on the course. Anyone not maintaining a 14 minute per mile pace will be directed to the all-purpose trail next to the course as the course closes. Depending on conditions on race day, you may need to go to all-purpose trail sooner if requested by the park rangers.

There is no day of race registration at the venue, please sign up online prior to race day. Packet pickup: will be at the Cabin 3, this is about 3 miles from the entrance and signs will be put out at Presque isle on Saturday from noon until 5 PM.  You can also pick up on Sunday prior to the race starting at 5:30 AM, this will be at the Beach 1 pavilion where the race will start and finish.  You may have someone else pick up your packets.  Refunds: Please do see our refund policy, there are no refunds, transfers or deferrals.  

Awards: As soon as race results are available we will hand out the awards.  The awards will be overall first 3 winners, male and female and first overall masters winners and 5 year age groups.
