This event utilizes a Time Trial Start format. The Derry and Windham Rail Trail is the perfect venue for a time trial start implementation in order to provide optimal race conditions for athletes looking for a BQ or PR!
Marathon Time Trial Start will begin at 7:30am with athletes starting 2 at a time every 7 seconds.
Half Marathon Time Trial Start will begin at 8:45am with athletes starting 2 at a time every 15 seconds.
Participants in each race are seeded fastest to slowest, based on pace data collected during registration. Each runner’s bib number has a Group # and Start Number (ie. Bib #101 is Group 1, Cone 01 – Bib #1250 is Group 12, Cone 50). Athletes are expected to line up with their respective group or corral and stand by their matching cone. They will be ushered to the starting line, 2 by 2 in order to start at their assigned start time!
