TIME TRIAL START:   This event utilizes a Time Trial Start format.  The Derry and Windham Rail Trail is the perfect venue for a time trial start implementation in order to provide optimal race conditions for athletes looking for a BQ or PR!

• Marathon Time Trail Start will begin at 7:30am with athletes starting 2 at a time every 7 seconds.
• Half Marathon Time Trial Start will begin at 8:45am with athletes starting 2 at a time every 15 seconds.

Participants in each race are seeded fastest to slowest, based on pace data collected during registration. Each runner’s bib number has a Group # and Start Number (ie.
