As long as a runner is making reasonable progress we will most likely not pull them from the course, but they will need to follow traffic laws at that point if they are falling behind that pace.
Safety
This event takes place on city roads and sidewalks. There will be law enforcement or flaggers to help runners cross roads, but please be alert when you are running and pay attention to course officials at all crossings.
In accordance with current Portland city regulations, special events have a very limited ability to hire Police officers for traffic control due to the understaffing of the Police department.
Headphones - Any runner using headphones should make sure their have only one headphone in their ear, or use bone conduction headphones.
