Last Chance for Beantown Night Marathon & 10K

Race Course & Information:  Its-Go-Time.com

The Last Chance for Beantown Night Marathon & 10K at Summerhouse is one of the last opportunities to qualify for the 2014 Boston Marathon. Runners from across the country, us included, set a goal to cross the Finish Line at the Boston Marathon.  With the unique start time of Sunset, runners will have the chance to run during the night – on a perfectly measured, fully aided course – without the hot sun being a factor.  Yes, we know it can be hot in August in North Carolina – that didn’t escape us, however, average low temperatures surprisingly drop to  69.8 degrees the last week of August in the evenings.  We are timing the start so humidity and temperature levels are as low as possible – every dropping through the race.  We've added a 10K for those looking for a nighttime run or to cheer on the marathoners.
