Event Policies
The following policies apply to all New Orleans Track Club races and events.
Refunds
- All New Orleans Track Club race registration fees are nonrefundable and nontransferable under all circumstances, including, but not limited to, cancellation of the event or of your participation, or change in the date, nature, or format of the event.
- An event may be canceled or changed due to severe weather or other factors that threaten the safety of participants, staff, or volunteers. Race bibs cannot be transferred to another participant.
Headphones
- The use of personal music devices is strongly discouraged at this race.
- To enjoy all that our race has to offer and for the safety of all participants, the New Orleans Track Club encourages a headphone-free environment during the running of this race.
Bathrooms
- At our races, NOTC demonstrates our commitment to an inclusive athletic experience by welcoming race participants, volunteers and guests to use:
- Single-occupancy (unisex) facilities
- Use of multiple-occupant, restroom facilities with lockable single occupant stalls.
Strollers
- The New Orleans Track Club strongly recommends against the use of baby strollers/joggers by participants.
- The reason for this recommendation is that the inclusion of strollers in races increases the potential for injury to race participants and children.
- We do not discourage the safe and prudent use of strollers in individual training situations, but we discourage them in group training runs/programs.
- However, if a participant plans on using a stroller, baby jogger, and/or similar device, that participant should start the event in the back of the runners and walkers.
Dogs
- Dogs should not be brought to this event for the safety of all participants and volunteers.
