Deferral Options

Race Day Questions
The time limit for this event is 3 hours and 30 minutes, which is a 16-minute per mile pace. The cutoff time is determined by our event permit, which permits us to use the roads, police support and other city resources for a specified period of time. After the permitted period ends, roads will reopen and we will no longer be able to provide participants with critical course support, including road closures, police and medical coverage, hydrations stations and course markings.
When the course closes at the cutoff time, any remaining participants must move off of the roads and onto a sidewalk. Anyone who decides to utilize the course route before or after the permitted time will not be considered an active participant and must follow pedestrian laws. Participants who do not meet the cutoff time will not receive an official time.
Strollers are not allowed on the race course for the safety of race participants, spectators and stroller passengers.
We always provide water at each station and some type of sports drink. A list of hydration station locations can be found on our course page.
Non-resort guests will park in the Train Lot, located off Route 60 (315 W Main St, White Sulphur Springs, WV 24986). From the Train Lot, participants and spectators will take a shuttle to the North Entrance of the Resort. Participants staying at the resort are encouraged to use either valet or self parking on resort property.
Races are held, rain or shine, unless we determine that conditions are too dangerous. This will be based on a prudent decision made on race weekend or race day by Race Officials and local law enforcement officials. If the race is cancelled due to inclement weather there will be neither refunds nor transfers. This position is consistent with USA Track & Field recommendations and with the protocol of sharing the risks associated with the sport of running. In the event of inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances, Capstone Event Group reserves the right to alter, cancel or eliminate any/all portions of the race.
If there is inclement weather during the race, it is your responsibility as a race participant to follow instruction from race officials and law enforcement in regards to inclement weather. If you disregard instructions from race officials, you are doing so at your own risk.
