About the Event

The 2nd Annual Goodale Park Marathon!

This year we've added a Half Marathon and 1 Lap Best Time option.

Setup: The start/finish and aid station will be set up in front of the pickleball courts on Dennison Ave

Timing: All runs will start officially at 8AM, but the 1 Lap Best Time can be completed at any time while Marathon runners are on the course.

1 Lap Best Time:

Run 1 lap as fast as you can (.9mi) and report it to race volunteers. All times will be displayed on a big board and runners can repeat the lap as many times as they want (until the last Marathoner finishes) to improve their standing.

Awards:

Marathon & Half Marathon: Nothing, just the admiration of your peers!

1 Lap Best Time: Prize for top times
