To complete the Half Marathon by 10:00am, you must maintain a pace of 14:00 minutes per mile (or faster). Walkers who are not on pace to complete the event before the course closes at 10:00am will be picked up and transported to the finish by our SAG (Support and Gear) buses.

Dogs will not be allowed on the course. If you are legally blind and require a Guide Dog, please contact infosf@usraceseries.com so that we may accommodate your participation.
4. WILL SKATES, STROLLERS OR BIKES BE ALLOWED ON THE COURSE?
No. Skates, strollers and bikes crowd the course and create potential safety hazards. Because we want all runners to have a positive experience skates, strollers or bikes are not allowed on the course.

For our Spring USH2, we expect 3,000 and the Fall USH1, there will be 5,000 participants.
