Can I run the courses without registering?
No. All runners without a Hobbler Half Marathon/5k bib will be directed off the course immediately.
Am I allowed to use my Portable Music Device during the race?
Yes!! Just please be aware of traffic around you to keep you and other runners safe.
Are there Timing Chips & Race Numbers?
All official entrants will receive a timing chip along with their race bib number.
If I get injured or for some other reason can’t run after I have registered, can I have my money refunded?
Once your registration has been accepted all fees are non-refundable, however, you may transfer your entry to another runner if you do so by July 5, 2024. Please read the rules and instructions at http://www.run13.com/races/hobbler/faq. This will reduce a lot of confusion for you if you need to modify your registration for any reason. Keep in mind, the new runner will pay the current listed price, not the price you may have paid when you registered. This is our most frequently asked question because runners do not read through the instructions.
Will there be pacers on the course?
Yes, RYR Race Pacers will be pacing the Half Marathon course. We will also be lining up runners according to their pace per mile at the start line – please line up accordingly and allow the faster runners to gather at the front of the pack.
Can I run with a stroller?
Yes. We simply ask those running with strollers to start towards the back of the race pack to avoid other runners tripping over stroller wheels and injuring themselves or their children.
Where are good places for my family to watch the race?
The best place is at the Finish Line Compound. Also, have your family check out the interactive course maps online and they may find a great place to cheer you on.
What happens if there is bad weather?
A little rain won’t stop this race! However, if there are major weather warnings prior to the event, check the home page for updates and watch for an email.
In the event that severe weather does threaten the event, we have prepared some weather cancellation policies and guidelines. Runners’ safety is the most important thing and if any of the threatening weather conditions listed below are present the day of the event, the event may be delayed or canceled. When weather conditions or other physical conditions present a danger to participants, race officials maintain the right to cancel the event. Less threatening conditions may cause alterations of the course or the post-event festival to ensure participant, volunteer, and community safety.

The race may be canceled or delayed if any of the following weather conditions exist: Lightning Threat, Lightning Storm, Tornado Warning, Tornado Watch, Thunderstorm, “Heavy” Rain, other major weather condition.
The start of the event may be delayed one hour from the posted start time if any of the above-mentioned conditions exist. The event may then be canceled if any of the weather conditions persist: Tornado Warning, Tornado Watch, or Thunderstorm.
The Race Director, in accordance with the city and the local law enforcement, has the authority to cancel the event, if deemed unsafe for participants and volunteers for any reason. If weather conditions force cancellation of the event, no refunds can be provided, since funds were already spent in preparation for race day.
In the event of cancellation, we will make arrangements for all runners to receive any items available to runners from event sponsors.
