Jacob Wells 3 Bridges Marathon

Aid Stations, Restrooms, and Medical Support

There are aid stations that average nearly every mile. There are numerous restrooms, including permanent restrooms on the River Trail and portable ones that we will place on the course. Medical personnel will be on duty at the Start/Finish and on the course. A clothing drop will be at Mile 2, where you may leave any clothing to be delivered to the finish line.

Awards

Awards will go to the top three males and females overall and masters and to the top three males and females in five-year age groups starting with 19 and under through 75+.

The awards ceremony will be held at 12 p.m. for the overall winners. Following the ceremony, age group awards may be picked up at the information booth as soon as the results in that age group have been verified and finalized by the timing company. Early starters may not pick up awards until their age groups have been verified and all regular starters in their age group have finished.
