Early Start
The early start is NOT an alternative start! Those who start early and complete the course faster than 5:55, may be subject to permanent disqualification.
Thank you for your interest in an early start for the USA FIT Marathon, January 29, 2012. If you qualify, you may start at 5:00am. We will have an official mat ready for you to cross at the start line. You will wear your timing chip. Because there will be a lot of sponsor, volunteer, and vendor traffic at that time in the morning, you will begin your marathon on the exact route of the marathon, but on the sidewalk rather than the street. At any time during the first 4 miles of the race where there is not a sidewalk, there will be a vehicle following behind the early start group. Although the race route will be "coned", remember that police officers will only be at major intersections before 6:30 am.
We ask that you not request an early start for any reason other than your finishing time. If you expect to finish in more than 5 hours and 55 minutes, you may apply. If you happen to apply, get approved , and finish in 5 hours and 54 minutes, we won't disqualify you...we are reasonable people.......within a minute or two.
