Q: Are there time cutoffs for the different distances?
A: The roads will be closed from 7:00AM to 12:30PM. We will need to open roads upon direction from the Snohomish County Sheriff. If they feel there are not enough runners on the road to warrant them remaining closed we may need to open them prior to 12:30 and will need to move runners to the side of the road or sidewalks. Full Marathon will have 5 hours to complete the course and half marathon will have 4.5 hours. The 5 hr. limit is how long we are permitted to keep Lowell-River Road closed to vehicular traffic. After 5 hrs, you will have to move to the side of the road.
