The Answer to Everything (42s) will begin at 7:30 am with the Pi Milers and follow the course for the Pi Miler. They will then line up again at the starting line at 8:30 am for the Pi Day River Rotation Marathon. When 42s complete the marathon, they will check in with one of the RDs, where we will line you up at the starting line for your own personalized start time to begin the Pi Day River Rotation Half Marathon.

For all distances, there will be a single aid station located at the trailhead and an aid station at the finish line. Runners in the marathon and half-marathon will pass the aid station at 5-mile intervals.

Drop bags can be left at both aid stations. Water, Tailwind, Honey Stinger products, fruit, and other items will be available at the aid station.

After the race, enjoy some homemade pie at the finish line with your custom-distance finisher's fork!

Timer Guys will return with chip timing.

Cupless Race! In an effort to continue the Lawrence Trail Hawks motto of "Kindness to Life and Land," we are requiring runners to bring their own hydration devices. We will provide a few cups by the water coolers at the aid stations if you are in need. There will be some cups available to runners for hot beverages only. Please help us with this transition by ensuring that you bring a hydration device, no matter what distance you run. A limited number of 16 oz collapsable hot/cold cups will be available for purchase on race day for $15.

CUTOFFS All distances have until 6:00 pm March 11, 2023 to complete their distance. To stay in the race, you must have left the aid station by 4:45 pm. Volunteers will breakdown the aid station at that time, and depart. Runners continuing on their own accord past the cutoffs, and not arriving at the Start/Finish on or before the 6pm cutoff, will not be eligible for the finisher awards.
