FAQ & RULES
- Are strollers and dogs allowed on the race? NO strollers or dogs for safety reasons.
- Can I wear headphones? No. This course is unique and can be challenging. The roads are open to traffic and much of the course is single-track. You need to be able to hear volunteer instructions, approaching vehicles, and when someone wants to pass you.
- Can someone else use my entry? NO! For safety reasons, we need to know exactly who is on the course. If a runner needs medical attention we use the info from the race bib to make emergency contacts. Plus, wearing another's bib can interfere with the age group and even overall race results. Please do not "give" your bib to others. You may transfer it through our system, though! Click here to find out how, but you must do the transfer before October 31.
- My friend/spouse/child is not registered. Can he/she just run with me? NO! This is called "banditing" and is essentially using race resources without paying for them. It's also a safety issue, and even if that person doesn't take the medal or use the potties, they are still using resources they haven't paid for. We have capacity limits set for the race as per Ridgefield Police Dept, so it's also like crashing a wedding or party you didn't RSVP for. Please don't bandit races, it's just being a jerk.
- I can't make it to Package Pick Up, can a friend pick up for me? Yes.
- Does the race happen rain or shine? You bet! Unless there is a natural disaster that prevents a safe race course, there will be a race!
- I can't race, can I get a refund? Sorry, no refunds or transfers for any reason; races are planned months in advance. We pay vendors and have to buy runner gifts quite early in the planning process (it's a bit like a wedding!). You can transfer your entry to someone else before October 31; find out how by clicking here.
