This is a bucket list race and I would recommend it. (I am signed up already for 2021) - The only downside is you start with all the walkers from all the races and a lot of people walk this course. I don’t think there is a cutoff time. I would recommend getting up front as far as you can. We spent the first 5 miles passing people who were walking. This is a BIG race with 20k people.

It starts early and you have an hour or so in the dark. Once the sun comes out it does get warm. If you are coming from anywhere cold be prepared to run in 80f heat.
