Clydesdale & Athena Information
There is a special division for our more "muscular" marathoners. This allows larger atheletes to be more competitive amongst others in their weight catagories. The Clydesdale Category for men has two divisions: 200-219 lbs. and 220+ lbs. The Athena Category for women is 140+ lbs. All Clydesdales and Athenas MUST be weighed in at the Health & Fitness Expo to verify their registration in this classification. Participants who did not initially register for this classification on their entry form can register during Expo hours.
