Possible to meet up with family/friends at the top, for those doing the full?

[Rob Morrow]

Just curious whether, for runners who are doing the full marathon, it is possible to take a short break and meet up with friends and family at the top.  I was also considering possibly switching up some gear at this point, if I feel like I need to.  Thanks!

Spectators can drive all the way to the top during the Marathon.

Yes, it is possible to go all the way to the summit or meet folks up there.  For obvious reasons, it is not recommended.

The main thing is that you should not depend on having somebody at the top waiting for you with a bunch of gear; they could be late due to tourist, weather, scenery, etc. Going to the top is going to add 10+ minutes and you'll need to wade through a ton of folks who will take you for a very confused runner and try to turn you around.  Just tell them that you really want a donut to help fuel your run back down. :-)

So just to be clear, there is no place for family and friends to see runners reach the turn around on the full? I had planned on being able to see my family before the turn-around.

The turn-around is a few hundred feet down the trail from the summit.  Spectators can definitely come down the top part of the trail, but as they get close to the race turn-around, the trail will be crowded.  Spectators often scramble down the rocks surrounding the trail, and then they can definitely get as good a view as they want right along the top of the course, but to do that you need to be OK with climbing on and over some rocks (nothing difficult).

Yoni is right about the trail at the top. Also, it's definitely more laid back for the marathon than the ascent (many fewer runners). Family and friends are awesome at the summit during the marathon. My son met me at the top a few years ago and offered great encouragement, This year, I'll probably see him about the A-frame on his way down while I'm still going up Good luck to all.

Ok, good! I was planning on having my family up there to help push me back down the mountain! It's actually comforting to know that I'll be able to see them up there.
