Is there a time limit?
The Women's Quarter Marathon has a STRICT race day finish time of two (2) hours and 30 minutes. The Women's Quarter Marathon course will reopen for public use at 10:00 A.M. sharp. Participants that fall behind this pace will be directed to the sidewalk and allowed to finish the race, but will not be guaranteed a finishing time.
Will the race be timed?
Yes, the race will be electronically timed and results will be available at the post-race party. Official times will be posted after the event.
Will there be an awards ceremony?
Yes, there will be awards ceremony held at the post-race festival. Prizes will be awarded to the 1st place finisher in each of the following age groups:
14 and under, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70+

Can I transfer my registration to another runner or defer to next year?
No. There is a strict no-transfer and no-defer policy. While this may seem harmless to the parties perpetrating the unauthorized bib transfer, it does convey serious consequences to the organizers and participant field alike. From race results to finishers’ awards being impacted as well as medical staff being able to correctly identify participants in need of treatment, it is imperative that the registration data associated with your race number does in fact belong to you, the participant.
