About the River City Micro Marathon
The course runs through Point Mallard Park on a loop you repeat several times to cover the full marathon distance. It is USATF certified and meets the standards required to qualify for the major marathons. The terrain is flat and the course is paved, which keeps the footing straightforward. A few aid stations on each loop carry water and electrolyte drinks.
Packet pickup the evening before is at a local brewery. Race-morning pickup opens early at the start and finish area inside the park. After you finish, there is recovery food and drinks set up at the pavilion near the finish line.
