| ADDITIONAL NOTES:
We are using a wave start. The course will be closed to traffic for participants who are averaging faster than 13:45 per mile. Slower participants may continue after traffic is allowed onto the race course, but they do so at their own risk and must follow pedestrian statutes. Race volunteers, the finish line, and post-race festivities will remain active long enough to accommodate runners taking up to 7 hours. |

The race starts near State Farm Center, runs through campus, loops
through Urbana, back through campus, out into Champaign, and
finishes on the 50-yard line of Memorial Stadium.
The course is USATF-certified (Number IL-09126-JW).
