reaching the half-marathon mark within 3h Explanation: Although the cut-off is 6h, and there is not cut-off at the half-marathon mark, this is an indication (A silly one. Being a marathon and ultra-marathon runner, I can safely say that nobody reaching the half in 3 hours will finish the full in 6 hours) I provided the long version. You can probably write: "reaching the half in 3h" |

time limit for half-marathon: 3 hrs Explanation: Or perhaps time limit at halfway point: 3 hrs. As a marathon runner (and married to a serial marathoner), I should know this, but not absolutely sure how this would be succinctly phrased in English, as we tend to run in France. I think time limit works though. Basically, the cut-off time (barrière horaire) for finishing the whole marathon is 6 hrs, after which you won't get an official finishing time, finisher's medal/T-shirt, etc. (In practice, they tend to be a bit more flexible.) The time-limit for completing the first half of the course (i.e. half-marathon distance) is 3 hrs, at which point I suspect anyone who hasn't reached the halfway point will be asked to withdraw. As Nicolas says, they're unlikely to be able to make the full cut-off time of 6 hrs. The meneurs d'allure are the pacemakers, good runners who set the pace for others who want to finish the marathon in 3hrs30, 3hrs45, etc. Usually carry a big sign with the target time on it. |
