Windermere Marathon and Events

PACKET PICK-UP:

• Packet pick-up Options.

  • More info coming soon!

• We understand that last minute issues come up.  For those runners that absolutely must pick-up their packet on race morning, we will offer a very limited race morning bib pick-up at each start line. We strongly encourage runners to pick up their packet before race day since we will have very limited staff to help with check-in race morning. If you must pick-up your race packet on race morning, plan ahead and arrive early, we will not be responsible for you missing your start time if you arrive last minute and are still waiting in line.

SHUTTLE BUSES

There is very limited parking at both the half and marathon starts. We highly recommend marathon and half marathon runners take the shuttle bus from downtown to the their designated start lines. Shuttle tickets can be purchased with your registration ($8).  Shuttle buses will drop off right next to the start line.  Shuttle buses are only available before the race start.  There are no shuttle buses available after the race.  Shuttle buses will be boarded at the Washington Lot near the Ice age playground in Riverfront Park. The trip takes less than 30minutes from downtown to the half marathon start line. Please do not arrive late. You will arrive at your start line a little early so please plan your clothing and nutrition accordingly.

Pick Up Location: 699 N Washington. This is located in the parking lot owned by Riverfront Park. 

GEAR CHECK:

We will have an athlete-only gear check corral in which athletes will drop their bag at a pre-labeled area based on their bib number at each start line location. Marathon and half marathon gear check will be transported to the finish line location after the race starts. Half marathon runners will be able to access their gear beginning at 10:30am. Bib numbers will be required to enter and exit the gear check corral. For safety purposes volunteers may ask to look inside of gear bags. Runners must provide their own bag due to the Washington State plastic bag law. 

FINISH LINE:

There will be sponsor booths near the finisher area as well as finish food. All finishers will receive a finisher medal,  water, snacks, and marathoners and half marathoners will have more of a hearty option. Finish food is for participants only and not for spectators. Race merchandise will also be available near the finish

FINISH PHOTOS:

SMILE! We will have an automated camera set up at the finish line that is triggered by our timing box when you cross the finish line.  These photos will be available on the results page within 72 hours after the race. The more visible your bib number is, the easier it is for our automated software to tag your photo with your bib so you can find it easily post race. If your bib number was not visible, you can still search all the finish photos to find your photo.

TOILETS:

Portable toilets and hand washing stations will be available in the start / finish area. Toilets will also be available at each water station.

AID STATIONS:

Aid stations will be located every 2-3 miles along course. Each station will contain water, sports drink, gu gels, gummy bears, and a small supply of basic first aid. Portable toilets will be available at each aid station along the route.
