No Pacing Policy: Pacing is not permitted. Pacing is defined as parents, guardians, spectators or others running alongside one or more runners in a running event. There are to be no adult parents, guardians, or spectators in the race, on the course, or running alongside the course during the race due to safety reasons.
The program director/volunteer is expected to enforce the code of conduct. They retain the right to remove points from participants whom they feel are in violation of the code of conduct. Encompass Recreation operates under a one strike policy, meaning in instances that do not directly impact race results or scoring, the director will issue a warning to either the participant, or family member, etc. For instances that directly affect race results, coordinators are to remove points, saving one participation point, for those whose unsportsmanlike actions adversely affect the race.
For violations of an egregious nature, the director, with the approval of the board of directors, has the right to remove violators for the rest of the series.
