• If you need assistance please proceed to the nearest aid station or wait for the next runner for help.  STAY ON THE MARKED TRAIL. You are ultimately responsible for staying on course.  If you find yourself lost or off trail go back to the last spot that you saw a marker and follow the the next race marker to get back on the race route.  
• No course cutting.
• NO BANDITS or any unauthorized runners.  Only runners that have registered for this race are allowed to run.  You may NOT run under another persons name or transfer a bib to any other runner.  Any such action will be an immediate disqualification for the registered runner and the unauthorized runner.
