How your pace lands against this race

What the race publishes

Cutoff mechanismFixed time limit
Time limit6:30 on last_starter time sourceSix hours thirty minutes, measured from when the last person crosses the start line rather than from the 07:00 gun. For a large waved field this is materially more generous than a gun limit, but the size of that difference depends on how long the field takes to clear the start, which the race does not publish.
Required pace at the limit14:52 per mile · 9:15 per kmDerived from the published limit over the official distance. Your own required pace depends on your start delay and planned stops.
Course sweepNot publishedSearched: Distances and courses page. No sweep vehicle or course-closure mechanism described here; FAQs and rules page not yet checked.
Intermediate cutoffsNot publishedSearched: Distances and courses page gives one overall limit. No checkpoint times published, and the race does not state that there are none.
Start structureNot publishedSearched: The 07:00 marathon start is published, but no corral or wave start offsets are. Because the limit runs from the last starter, this single missing field makes the deadline uncomputable — the same field that blocks Chicago's sweep and Every Woman's Marathon.
Walkers explicitly allowedNot publishedSearched: Distances and courses page makes no statement about walking. FAQs and rules page not yet checked.
Walker divisionNot publishedSearched: No walking division named on the distances and courses page. A separate para athlete division exists.
Aid stationsNot publishedSearched: Not covered on the distances and courses page.
SweeperNot publishedSearched: Not covered on the distances and courses page.
Late finishersNot publishedSearched: Distances and courses page states that all finishers receive a medal, but says nothing about participants outside the 6:30 limit — whether they may finish, are recorded, or keep course support. A statement about finishers is not a policy on late finishers. FAQs and rules page not yet checked.
Course closureNot publishedSearched: Road closure schedules are published by the city and by news outlets, but not as a participant-facing course-closure rule on the official race page.
Official result recorded onNot publishedSearched: Distances and courses page does not state whether official results are gun or chip time.
