Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bring my baby stroller any of the race courses?
No. Due to other runners and the county roads being open to local traffic. Also, baby strollers do not fit through the finish line shoots.
May I bring my dog or headphones/i pod?
No. All the races are on county roads open to local traffic. All runners need to be able to hear traffic and fellow runners.
Is it okay for my friend, parent or spouse to ride their bike along side me while I run?
We strongly advise against it. The roads are technically open to traffic, but we prefer there to be no bikes on the course. For safety considerations we ask that everyone leave their bikes at home.
Where’s the best place for my family and friends to watch me run?
Anywhere along Lincoln Avenue or at the finish line at the courthouse lawn on Lincoln Avenue.
Is the Steamboat Marathon a Boston Marathon qualifying race?
Yes, because our course is USATF (USA Track and Field) certified, our race is a Boston qualifier.
If I find that I can’t run for whatever reason, may I transfer my bib number to my friend?
Yes. Please check the section above titled Registration Transfers
Now that the half marathon is full, can I get my name on the wait list?
No. We do not have a wait list. See the section above titled Registration Transfers
I just found out I’m pregnant and can’t run, what can I do?
For pregnancies we allow women to carry over their registration payment to use for the 2011 race. Please mail or email your race confirmation to marathon@steamboatchamber.com and we will reassign your bib number.
It is the runner’s responsibility to re-register in 2011. We will not automatically register you for the next year’s race. You will need to fax in a registration form for the 2011 race and make a note that you’re a carry over from 2010. We can not process any carry over registrations on active.com, nor will we refund any registration fees. Or see the above section titled Registration Transfers
Is my registration fee refundable?
No. Entry fees are not refundable. No Exceptions.
What if I can’t make it to packet pick-up?
A friend or relative can pick up your packet, but they must have your e-mail or postcard confirmation. There will be no race day packet pick-up. No Exceptions.
