Questions & Answers

Frequently

Asked

 Questions

 

 

What kind of weather can I expect? The average high on June 8 for the past nine years was 75 degrees Fahrenheit and the average low was 44 degrees.  Due to the 6:30 a.m. start time you should anticipate your 'average marathon temperature' to be in the lower range, from 45 to 65 for example.  Average precipitation over the past eight years on June 8th in Casper has been .06 inches. 

How many Aid Stations are there? Aid stations will be approximately every 2 miles. Due to the out and back and loop course types you will use many Aid stations twice, 'coming' and 'going'. Fruit and GU will be available at various stations and all aid stations will offer water and PowerAde sports drink.  There will also be porta potties out on the course (check map)  

Are there any big hills in the course? Most will describe the course as flat and fast with a few small hills. However one person's mole hill is another's mountain, come check it out and decide for yourself. 

Is there any free transportation from my hotel? Yes, we have arranged for free shuttle bus service from the Ramada Plaza Riverside to the start line beginning at 5:00 a.m.

Where do I park? Free parking is available near the start line at the Casper Events Center.

What happens if it is raining? Obviously all the races will go on but if the weather is inclement, we will use the indoor facilities at the Holiday Inn. Food and drink would be available indoors. Awards Ceremony would be held indoors. Announcement will be made at finish area.

If I registered for the Marathon can I switch to the Half Marathon when I reach that half marathon turnaround point?  Unfortunately, due to the course and timing system is not conducive to changing at the half marathon point.

When will race results be available?  Race results will be available on the website on Monday, the day after the race.  Results are also sent to local media and newspapers and will be sent to Marathon Guide, Colorado Runner and Runners World

What wildlife might I see during the race?  Pronghorn Antelope (caution they like to run too), Mule Deer, Jackrabbits, Canadian Geese, Hawks or Eagles.

I still have a question, can you help? No problem, just email Eric and Dawn Easton, Race Director
