🛣️ IMPORTANT: Open Course Safety Guidelines:
The 15K Run will take place on an open course. 
This means that while safety measures will be in place, roads are not completely closed to vehicle traffic. Please review the following instructions carefully:

🚶‍♂️ 1. Run against Traffic | Left Side Road Shoulder
Runners must stay on the left side of the road (running against traffic) and use the road shoulder, sidewalks, or coned-off lanes where available.
Do not run in the middle of the road or outside designated areas.
 
⚠️ 2. Be Aware of Traffic at All Times
Vehicles may be present on the course.
Obey all traffic laws and any instructions from police or course marshals.
Use extra caution at intersections and crossings – course marshals will be at major intersections to assist, but they cannot control traffic
 
🔁 3. Yield to Emergency Vehicles
If an emergency vehicle approaches, move off the course immediately and safely.
 
🎧 4. Headphones Are Discouraged
We strongly discourage the use of headphones or earbuds on open roads so that you can hear approaching vehicles, instructions, and other runners.
 
🚦 5. Obey Marshals & Signage
Course marshals and signs will help guide you, but you are responsible for your own safety.
If a marshal signals you to stop or yield, please comply immediately.
 
🧍‍♀️ 6. No Stopping or Backtracking
If you need to stop (e.g., tie a shoe or rest), move as far to the side as you can so other runners can run by and stay on the shoulder
 
👥 7. Run Single File When Necessary
If road shoulders are narrow or vehicles are passing, run single file to allow traffic to pass safely.
 
📣 8. Be Alert, Courteous, and Safe
A safe race is a successful race. Be courteous to fellow runners, volunteers, and drivers.
Use common sense and run defensively.
