What kind of weather can I expect? The average high in early June 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 40 to 60 for example. It is Casper so wind in always a possibility but typically there is very little precipitation. |
|
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 early in the run at various stations and all aid stations will offer water and 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. (Remember there is no transportation provided back to the Event Center after the race) |
|
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 Ramada if possible. There will be a food and common tented area if necessary. Awards Ceremony would be held under the tents. Announcement will be made at finish area if we need to alter anything due to weather. |
