Two city laps and an official halfway finish option
The full-marathon page lists starts from 09:10 and a 15:00 finish closure, while also describing a maximum running time of 5 hours 30 minutes. Those figures are not identical for every possible start. Confirm the final wave and intermediate cutoff rules before relying on the full interval between the first start and finish closure.
On a two-lap route, identify where full-distance runners continue and where half-marathon runners finish. Keep the opening lap controlled even if nearby runners are approaching the end of their shorter race. The second lap also means supporters should expect repeated road closures rather than a single pass.
The organizer describes a legitimate half-marathon finish option for marathon entrants. Follow that procedure if changing distance; simply leaving the full course elsewhere does not produce a half-marathon result. This is a contingency within the event’s rules, not a reason to start a full marathon without suitable preparation.
The page lists local WVV transport to the start on Sunday and baggage, refreshments and showers among race services. Check the final ticket conditions, collection arrangements and transport timetable before travel. Relay teams have their own flexible changeover arrangements; those do not authorize an individual marathon runner to use an unregistered pacer or bicycle escort. Plan supporters’ crossings around both laps, and choose a post-race meeting point reachable without stepping onto the active course.
