The marathon will be a quasi-double loop course on rolling, scenic country roads, passing some 40-plus horse farms. In fact, runners are never out of view of a horse farm for the duration of the race. There will be a pace limit of 14 minutes, 30 seconds per mile (6 hour, 15 minute total time), and will be an officially certified course. Times will be submitted to the Boston Athletic Association for Boston Marathon qualifier status.
