Dramatic multi-media shows and numerous hands-on displays provide an inspirational and exhilarating look into America's quest for the moon.

We are very excited to have Bart Yasso, Chief Running Officer at Runner’s World magazine and author of the Book, My Life on the Run as our keynote speaker this year.  Bart has completed the toughest races on the planet and influenced thousands of people to improve their lives through running.

 

Bart Yasso joined Runner's World in 1987 to develop the groundbreaking Runner's World Race Sponsorship Program, creating a vehicle for Runner's World to work with over 7,000 races representing 4 million runners per year. He was also inducted into the Running USA Hall of Champions.

 

Yasso also invented the Yasso 800s, a marathon-training schedule used by thousands around the world. He is one of the few people to have completed races on all seven continents from the Antarctica marathon to the Mt. Kilimanjaro marathon. In 1987, Yasso won the U.S. National Biathlon Long Course Championship and won the Smoky Mountain Marathon in 1998. He has also completed the Ironman five times and the Badwater 146 through Death Valley. He has also cycled, unsupported and by himself, across the country twice.

All finishers receive a complimentary pancake and egg breakfast and / or Pizza. You must show your race number as proof of participation. Extra breakfast tickets are available for $5.00 for family & friends on site (cash only)

Those wearing the top two best costumes as judged by participant applause will win $50 and $25 respectively. Make sure your costume is safe to others and allows you to run easily without overheating and the ability to see clearly. There will be a costume contest after the half marathon awards presentation and another immediately after the marathon awards presentation. Any finisher of either race is eligible for either contest, but not both.

This year we are offering Pace Teams for both the full marathon and half marathon.
