Oct. 31 is Deadline for Personalized Bibs or
Placement in the First Two Starting Corrals

Runners hoping to start the marathon, half marathon or marathon relay in
one of the first two corrals will need to register by midnight on Sunday,
Oct. 31 which is also the deadline to receive a free personalized bib. All
participants who register after midnight on Oct. 31 will be placed in the

start at 7:32 a.m. Participants in other corrals will start 5 minutes after
the corral ahead of them clears the start line.

Participants who register before midnight on Sunday Oct. 31 will also
receive a free personalized bib including their name and home town. Those
completing their first marathon will receive a special "My First Marathon"
bib so everyone can give them extra encouragement as they complete their
journey to the finish line.

close at midnight on Sunday, Nov. 14 and prices will increase to the Expo
registration prices of $100 for the marathon, $70 for the half marathon,
$180 for the marathon relay, $25 for the 5K and $15 for the one-mile fun
