We will have a tent for Half and Full Marathoners to drop a bag for access during the race.  This area will be located near the starting line (5.75, 12.75, 19+ mile marks).  Please mark your bag with your race number, name, and telephone number.  There will be an aid station near the drop tent but it will not be permanently staffed.  Please do not put valuables in your bag and use this area for clothing and fuel only.

The parking lot is right next to the Start/Finish Area - there is no need for a bag check.
