 General Event Rules

  • Registration & Bibs: All participants must be officially registered and wearing their assigned race bib. 

  • Age Requirements: All ages are welcome. Under 12 must have an adult through the event. 

  • Weather Policy: The event will take place rain or shine. No refunds.

  • Liability Waiver: All participants (or legal guardians for minors) must sign the event liability waiver prior to participating.

Safety & Course Etiquette

  • No Dogs or Pets: For the safety of all participants and spectators, dogs and other pets are strictly prohibited on the course. Service animals specifically trained to assist individuals with disabilities are the only exception.

  • Strollers & Joggers: Strollers are permitted, but for safety reasons, all participants pushing strollers must line up at the very back (end) of the starting corral. Please exercise extreme caution when passing other participants.

  • Wheeled Vehicles: Bicycles, skateboards, rollerblades, scooters, and motorized vehicles are completely banned from the course to prevent collisions. (Wheelchairs and adaptive racing equipment are fully welcome).

  • Stay to the Right: Please run or walk on the right side of the path or road to allow faster participants to pass safely on your left. If you are walking in a group, please do not walk more than two abreast so the path remains clear.

  • Headphones: No headphones please. This is a community event - enjoy the camaraderie. 

Timing & Finish Line

  • Race Cut-Off Time: The course will remain open for 90 minutes (adjust as needed for your community). After this time, course support and intersections may no longer be monitored by volunteers.

  • Chute Etiquette: Once you cross the finish line, please keep moving through the finish chute to prevent crowding. Water and snacks will be available in another area. 

  • Littering: Please use the designated trash receptacles at the water stations and finish line. Help us keep our community park/streets clean!
