      After the race, each runner must submit their GPS time, distance covered, and bib number to the timekeeper, who will record each runner’s results.

    • Wearing a GPS watch (Garmin, Apple, COROS, etc.) is mandatory for all runners during the race. No GPS watch = no finish time. Exception: If local runners do not own a GPS watch, this requirement will be exempted. We will use the running clock for their time.

    • Deviations from the course are not permitted, except for short breaks (refreshments, restroom use, etc.). The entire lap course must be completed, even if it seems long.

    • We plan to have an aid station at the start/finish area. What is supplied will be dependent on what we can buy locally.

    • Please do not litter. Let’s show respect to our Island hosts.

    •  All runners must sign a liability waiver form and email it to info@tntmarathons.com.

    • All participants who complete the marathon will receive a medal and a finisher certificate (e-mailed).
