The Locomotive Half Marathon and 5K is the crown jewel of the Locomotive Race Series! Long Sleeve shirts, custom finisher medals and FREE pasta party for half marathoners! Two amazing courses that both finish to a huge post party!
Half Marathoners get a long sleeve shirt, FREE pasta party the night before, and custom finisher medal! 5K participants get a short sleeve shirt.
The 5K course is flat and fast, and the half is relatively flat in the first third, rolling in the second third, and relatively flat in the last third. BOTH courses are USATF certified! There are 8 water/powerade stops on the course as well as portojohns at the midpoint.
The cutoff time is 3 hours for the Half Marathon; there is no cutoff for the 5K.
Stick around for a really fun post party with a holiday twist!
