IN UNITY WE RUN
Marathon & Half Marathon (or any distance you choose)
We said we would never forget, and 24 years later we still remember 9/11. On the anniversary of 9/11, let us honor the lives lost by supporting a local foundation, cause, or organization

SCHEDULE
Saturday, November 1st, 2025
The Race Director, Steve Barrick, will arrive before 6 AM and start checking people in
6 AM ~ Super Early Start for the Full Marathon
7 AM ~ Early Start for the Full Marathon
8 AM ~ Regular Start for the Full Marathon
9 AM ~ Half Marathon Start
2 PM ~ Course closed
All runners are expected to track their own times and report their finish times to the race director. If anyone prefers to start on their own instead of with a group start, he/she is welcome to do so.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Check in with your $20 donation before the race.
Runners needing more than 8 hours can arrive before 6AM, self-start, self-report finish times, and make their donations after they finish. Runners reaching the finish line after 2PM can email finish times to:
[email protected]
If you plan on starting before daylight, please remember to bring a headlamp or flashlight.

THERE IS NO PRE-RACE REGISTRATION FEE !!!
Our event is a donation-based race benefiting Northwest Harvest Food Bank. Your day of race donations will be matched and matched again so that a donation of $20.00 will become $80.00. Also, if racers care to donate more than the initial $20.00, it will be sincerely welcomed.
ZELLE
Racers have the option of pre-paying a $20 donation via ZELLE (https://www.zellepay.com/) to Steve Barrick at [email protected].
However, cash (or check) on race day is perfectly acceptable if you are hesitant to use Zelle. If you wish to run our race as a virtual race, please donate via ZELLE and forward a screenshot of your GPS app finish time and distance with your registration email to the race director. Virtual racers can complete their race distance on any date before the official race date.

COURSES
There are two alternate courses:
NORTH COURSE - A 2.2 mile out-and-back going North along the Green River Trial. The turnaround will be behind a huge church that is found not long after crossing the Green River on a pedestrian overpass. The turnaround will be clearly marked.
SOUTH COURSE - A 2.2 mile out-and-back going South along the Green River Trial. The turnaround will be located just before going under the Veterans Drive overpass and will be clearly marked. The South course has a restroom at a playground area located about halfway to the turnaround. The restroom is unlocked at 8 AM.
Runners will repeat either of the courses until they achieve their chosen distance. …3 times for the half. …6 times for the full. No volunteers will be monitoring the course. However, the course is well marked with orange arrows spray painted on the pavement. Participants are not restricted to our marked course. What matters is if they can reference their GPS app/device to substantiate the distance they have chosen to run. Alternate distances include 5K, 10K and 50K.
COURSE SUPPORT
HYDRATION – Please bring your own bottles or other hydration supplies to carry on the course. We will supply water and Gatorade at the start/finish line.
RESTROOMS – The restrooms at the start/finish line will be locked for the season. Please take care of your restroom needs before arriving. The south course has full restroom facilities that are open after 8 am and are located about halfway to the turnaround.
PARKING and CARPOOLING
Ample parking is at or near the start line. Anyone seeking or offering ride sharing is encouraged to use our Facebook group discussion section for networking purposes.
CONFIRMATION LIST
As runners send in their registration information, their names will appear on the confirmation list. See: https://greenrivermarathon.com/results/entriesall.html
Please allow a few days for the race director to update the list.
