We aint playing with a full deck.
Starts at 6PM LLT. Local Lunatic Time. 3 different confusing loops.
Loop 1 ... Out to Queen Mary and Return up the stairs, over the bridge down the stairs and along the path, 6.x miles ( scenic ).
Loop 2.... Out to end of Bike Path at Ocean Ave and back. 6.x miles, relatively flat, somewhat scenic, lots of restrooms and fountains.
Loop 3.... For those who like short 1.x mile loops with grass, park benches and several PPMs ( Potties Per Mile ) and panacke flatness.
The distances will be measured to the nearest 0.1 miles and the extra mile will be gratuitously added for thiose whose Garmins dont agree with the RD.
Time limits... Half marathon, 4 hours, not strictly enforced, but overtime means you may have to buy the volunteers their favorite beverage.
Marathon.... You just keep going through the night and start Spring 6/7. Just kidding. Try to finish by midnight LLT so it counts as a 3/22 race.
