4 Weeks Until CBHM: The Mile 4(ish) Port-o-Let Is Official

This Week’s HOT TOPIC… 

You asked in our recent post-race surveys — and we are FINALLY listening!

We’re adding a port-o-let stop at mile 4.1-ish, just past the water table and before you turn to cross the Middle Covered Bridge in downtown Woodstock.

Strategic? Absolutely.
Necessary? Also absolutely. 

Whether you’re chasing a PR or just trying to survive race morning coffee, we’ve got you covered.

Our other “comfort” stops on course are:

Water Stops

2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 miles, plus Start and Finish.

Electrolyte Drinks Available at Stops

6, 8, 10 and 12 miles.

Port-o-lets

1.5, 4, 3/5, 8, 10 miles, plus Start and Finish.

Race Day Course times: Water and Bands on the Run

Race Start: 8:15 AM
All estimated times based on a 13-minute-per-mile pace.
