Due to time constrictions in coordination with the East Longmeadow parade, there will be a 60 minute cut-off time. The course will have a sweeper to ensure all cones have been cleared and that there are no remaining runners on the route prior to the parade start.
Check-in will end precisely at 9:25AM (NO EXCEPTIONS). We cannot delay the start of the race due to the very tight timeline prior to the beginning of the parade. Please plan accordingly.
