The Pettit Indoor Marathon is limited to 130 participants and is expected to reach its capacity prior to race-day. Runners will need to finish approximately 95.1 laps around the track to complete the marathon. The race will end on the front stretch of the running track. There is a 6-hour time limit. Those who are still on the track after 6 hours are not guaranteed a finish time or finisher’s medal. The course has been USATF-certified.
All registrants will receive a specially-designed shirt. All finishers will receive a Pettit Indoor Marathon finishers medal. The race starts at 8:00 AM Sunday, February 25, 2024.
There will be a large refreshment station at one end of the track. Runners can keep water bottles in a designated area near the station. Tables will be available to place your supplies. Runners should bring their own bottles, as cups will not be allowed or provided due to spillage concerns. There will be another designated area for runners to store extra clothes, drinks, gel packs, energy bars, etc.
The top three male and female overall finishers will be given awards at the awards ceremony.
The race will be chip-timed. The scorer will use this to get lap counts for runners. There may be a scoreboard to display lap counts. Runners can also request a lap count when they go past the scorer’s table on the front stretch, and a volunteer will call of their count the next time around. Several running watches such as the Garmin Forerunner have lap tracking capabilities and runners are free to use those to keep track of laps.
The registration fee is $90 through December 31st and $100 after January 1st. and is non-refundable and non-transferrable. If you have registered and are unable to run, you can email us and we will have your shirt mailed to you. Registration is closed.
