Anyone finishing after this time (6 hours for the Marathon) may not receive an official finish time.

The 10K course is just like the marathon course except that it turns around at 3 miles instead of 13 miles. The Half Marathon course starts near the turn around point of the Marathon course and follows the same route as the marathon back to the finish line. On your return trip you return to the Start Line, and then step onto a track for the final 200 meters inside the stadium. The course begins on the campus of Northwestern Michigan College. Throughout the race, you have the crystal blue waters of Lake Michigan on one side and Traverse City’s famous cherry trees and orchards on the other.
