Ferry tickets are best to be purchased online when you are entering or on the paper entry form when entering. Please Note: Due to these Ferry sailings being a chartered service and the need to ensure boarding is as efficient as possible, a different ticket system is being used for these sailings.

Yes, registered runners may switch events at any time before the race. There is no partial refund for those who switch from the marathon to the half marathon, and those who switch from the half marathon to the marathon will be asked to pay an additional $15 to account for the difference between the two entry fees. If you wish to switch events, please e-mail race co-director Bob Aube or notify the registration coordinator at packet pickup.

No. Only marathoners expecting to be slower than 5 hours will be permitted to start at 6:30 a.m. Anyone finishing the marathon faster than 4 hr 45 min from the early start will be disqualified. This is a safety issue - the far reaches of the course have no marshals until after 8:00 a.m. More information...

The short answer is no. The course is divided into 5 fixed stages, so a half-marathon will not be possible. However, if one of you takes stages 1, 2 & 3 and the other takes the final two stages, you will cover approximately 14 and 12 miles, respectively.

The minimum age is 17 on the day as per UK Athletic Rules. Runners can still be 16 when they enter but must have reached 17 by race day.
