Can I Switch Race Distances?

Yes, but there are separate race numbers and d-tags for each distance. You can change distances at packet pick-up or race morning. You will exchange your old race number and chip for one for your new distance.
There is no extra charge for switching among the 20-mile, 30 km, or half-marathon. There is a $20 charge to change from 5 km to a longer distance. There is no refund if you want to move from a longer distance to the 5 km.
Because the 20-mile, 30 km and half-marathon have different starting times, you can’t change your mind after your race begins. All entrants must wear the correct race number and timing chip for the race distance. 

How Are the Miles Marked on the Course?
With four different race distances, there are a lot of mile markers on the course. To aid in identifying the right markers for your race distance, mile markers are color coded with the race numbers:

• 20 Mile: Green race numbers and mile markers.
• 30 km: Red race numbers and mile markers. *
• Half-Marathon: Yellow and black race numbers and mile markers. *
• 5 km: Blue race numbers and mile markers.
  • *Note:the 20-mile, half-marathon, and 30 km share miles 1-6. The 20-mile and 30 km also share miles 7-9,

What Else do I Need to Know About the Courses?

• For most of the long-distance courses, you will run/walk on the right side of the road (with traffic). The exceptions for the 20 mile and 30 km courses are: On Jefferson Blvd. where all runners run on the left side of the road; And, on Waukeena Road north of Courtland Road (the levee) where you have full road access.
• Please remember that 20 milers, 30 km’ers, and half-marathoners start at different times but share the same roads so expect lots of passing. Please run/walk single file and stay towards the edge of the road to allow safer passing.
• Though there will be signage and volunteers, ultimately, you are responsible for running the correct course--i.e. turning around at the right place for the half marathon or including the out-and-back section if doing the 20 mile.

Can Spectators See Runners on the Course?
Not easily. Clarksburg is a large race in a small, rural community. The entire course is on narrow two-lane roads past farms and wineries. The only places on the course that can accommodate spectators are: Clarksburg and Tule Roads, Central Ave and Tule Road, and Netherlands Road and Jefferson Blvd. Use Clarksburg Road and Jefferson Blvd. to access these locations. Be considerate of competitors and do not drive on the course. See course map.

What Happens at the Finish and After the Race?
There will be a digital clock at the finish with the time for each race distance. All long-distance race finishers will be presented a finish medal.

Enjoy a free hot lunch in the high school cafeteria. Spectators can purchase a hot lunch for $5.

Lockers and showers are available near the high school gym. Bring your own towel and lock.

What About Results and Awards?
Race results will be posted on a large display near the finish area. There are age group awards three deep in all age divisions available for race-day pick-up (see details elsewhere on website). There is no awards ceremony. Once results are posted, pick-up your award outside the cafeteria. Age group awards are not mailed. Prize money checks for the 30 km PAUSATF championship are mailed directly from the PA 2-4 weeks after the race.

Please review carefully additional race information on the race web site including additional race rules, course time limits, new course map, awards and prize money, and special race features.
