* Early Start is for over 55+ year old marathoners or walkers who anticipate finishing over 6 hours. 
You will run out of street lights before  the sun comes up if you are faster than 6 hours.
Wear reflective clothing, a head lamp, and flashers.
The Race is run on bike paths, the shoulder and some closed lanes at the start and finish of the Marathon. (This is not the Boston Marathon...) Some spots the road is very narrow where the ocean has taken back the Highway.
