Race Day Parking
The closest parking will be Parking Lot #5 with over flow parking available in Parking Lot #4. There is no fee for parking or for entry to the park. Participants will be given a map of the parking areas prior to race weekend.
Bathrooms & Gear Check
Bathrooms are located on premises at the park near the parking lots. There will also be porta-potties on the course loop, so if you are jogging a warrm up, you will be able to use those prior to race start as well.
Due to the size of the venue, there will be no gear check for the race. Anything left behind in the staging area at the start will be disposed of. Please leave all valuables in the car!
Bib Pickup
Typically you can plan for bib pickup to be the day before your race, with no bib pickup the morning of. The specific location, date and time are still TBD. Registrants will be notified by email once timeline is finalized.
Finisher's Medal
Breaking 3 has a course cutoff time of 3:25:00. Every runner who finishes inside of this time will receive a finisher's medal to celebrate your achievement!
Course Map and Eligibility
Our course is USATF certified and sanctioned.
We are also World Athletics Certified (World Athletics Certification NY26002JRG). This certification will allow for World Championship Rankings points, Olympic Rankings points, and National Record performances to be valid.
If you run a Boston qualifying time on the course, it is valid and can be used to register for the Boston Marathon.
Note: This is not a professional level event. If you have run 2:30:00/2:50:00 or faster please register for the MicrOTQ Marathon held on March 28th at the same location.
Entry Standards
There are NO entry standards for the 2027 race - registration is open to all. That being said, the TIME LIMIT for this race is set at 3:25:00.
If you are hoping to run between 2:40 - 3:15 in the marathon this spring, this is the race for you. We plan to have pace groups for 2:40, 2:50, 3:00, and 3:10. On race day, simply join the pace group that fits your goal. There is no need to "prove" your fitness prior to entry.
