CBHM FAQS
Questions for this week
1. Do you allow walkers? This is a RUNNING Half Marathon
Please DO NOT plan to WALK our half marathon.
This is a running race. We provide support on the course in the form of water, traffic control and first aid for those maintaining up to a 13 minute/mile pace.
You must maintain a 13 minute mile pace. “Rolling” closures of water stops, on course first aid and police traffic control occur based on this 13 minute mile pace.
We provide support from 8:15 (Start) until 11:15 (Finish Line closes)
For your safety, you should plan to RUN this race not Walk it.
2. Can my friend support me by bicycle on the course?
Bikes are prohibited from the course for safety and fairness issues.
There are plenty of aid stations and the Green Mountain Bike Patrol will be on course to assist you if you need help.
3. Can I run with a baby jogger?
The rules prohibit baby joggers out of safety concerns among other issues.
If you are out of babysitting options, we reluctantly permit them but YOU must start at the very back of the pack and not advance through the bulk of runners until the pack stretches out around mile 5.
There have been a number of close calls in previous races.
This is a running race for 13 minute mile runners or less. Safety is our greatest concern.
Baby joggers/Strollers must start at the very back of the race or you will DNF.
