Runners will enjoy the scenic view along Lakeshore Drive, tree lined West Beach Blvd., the Tammany Trace, and the start and finish in Fontainebleau State Park.
There is a three and a half (3.5) hour course limit to complete the half marathon race, and a two (2) hour forty (40) minute course limit to complete the 10 Miler race. This equates to an 16:00 min/mile pace, which is a VERY brisk walk. If you are unable to continue at this pace you will be helped into the SAG wagon and transported to the finish line. The Race Director and Race Staff will turn any Half Marathon runners onto the 10 Miler course if they are not at the course split by 8:25am.
The Northshore Half Marathon & 10 Miler will feature mile markers at every mile and well-supported water stations approximately every 1.5 miles.
*All courses are very well marked. There are mile markers for each distance event, directional signs for course splits and TURNAROUND signs for course turnarounds. Course splits and course turnarounds will be manned with an operations staff member who will typically be making announcements on a megaphone. Course turns are indicated with traffic cones and usually (not always) have police units, volunteers and/or staff members. Traffic on courses is managed by our law enforcement partners, but no roads are promised to be closed to all traffic. Runners should be aware of their surroundings: the course, applicable signage, vehicles, staff, volunteers, and police officers.
