Spectators and crew are only allowed at the designated spectator locations (see below)–runners getting support from anyone other than volunteers or race staff outside of those spectator areas will be disqualified. No baby joggers allowed on the course. The course is planned to be open for only 7 hour. Friends and family can run part of the course with you but they must not drive anywhere on the course to meet you except to the designated spectator locations (see below).
​
Runners who would like support in addition to what is provided by the race may ask the race director for approval.
COURSE SUPPORT AND RULES /
This is not a very spectator friendly race, there are only 3 spots on the marathon course (and only 2 on the half marathon course) where your friends or family can see you during the race (mile 5.3 and 16.5 for the marathon and mile 3.4 for the half marathon and at the finish for both) and they must follow the directions under the course info tab precisely. That being said, Winthrop and the Methow Valley are full of things for your friends and family to do while you run. They can go for a hike, enjoy Winthrop's charming shops, or volunteer at an aid station -- they get to see you on the course and get a free ticket for the post race meal!
