RACE RULES

All runners must completely pass through the start/finish line between laps. Don’t turn around early or your lap will not be counted.
Only COMPLETED laps will be counted toward your final mileage total. That means you must complete the entire 4-mile lap in order for those miles to count. For example: if you start your final lap before the final time runs out but the clock runs out while you are running, your final lap will not count! So plan your pacing accordingly as time starts to wind down.
Anything left behind after the race will be donated to charity. Any personal items left behind after the event will be kept for 30 days then donated to charity. We WILL NOT mail or ship anything back to you under any circumstances. Please keep track of your personal belongings during the event.
No pets are allowed at the race. This includes dogs on or off-leash. Per regulations related to our USATF event sanction and Next Opportunity insurance policies pets are prohibited on the racecourse and at the race site for the duration of that event. This applies to staff, volunteers, and participants alike.
