DO YOU LIMIT THE NUMBER OF RUNNERS IN EACH RACE?
The 10K, 15K & 1 Mile Fun Run are not capped at this time.

WILL YOU HAVE PACERS?
There are no pacers for the Mardi Gras Mambo.  Runners will be assigned to start corrals based on the expected finish times they provide.  The runners around you should be running a similar pace to you.

CAN I HAVE CELL PHONES, FRIENDS, STROLLERS, DOGS ON THE COURSE?
We encourage you to invite friends and family to cheer you on along the course, but they are only allowed to run with you if they are registered runners. Per USA Track & Field rules, elements that could impede the safety of runners, such as bikes, skates, skateboards, strollers and pets on the course, are not allowed. The safety of our runners is our number one priority. By signing or clicking ’I Accept’ on any Mardi Gras Mambo registration race waiver, you are agreeing to abide by the Rules of Competition.

CAN I WEAR HEADPHONES?
Participants will be able to use listening devices during the running of the 10K, 15K and 1 Mile Fun Run, but they do so at their own risk. Runner safety is, and will continue to be, the priority for all of our events. To ensure a safe and enjoyable race for everyone, we ask that you please be mindful of the other participants and race personnel.

You MUST be aware of your surroundings at all times and this includes being able to hear any verbal warnings/instructions from police/course officials or the sound of any vehicles and other participants on the course. The abuse of portable headphone devices can result in disqualification. Abuse refers to being so distracted that you become a hazard to yourself, your fellow participants, spectators, course marshals, finish line officials, medical personnel, other race officials, police personnel or vehicle traffic.

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. We must constantly consider the safety of all our participants, volunteers and spectators and review this rule as well as others in order to ensure the continued safety of our participants.

IS THERE A PLACE TO DROP BAGS AT THE START LINE?
Yes.  We will have a “morning clothes” Gear Check drop point near the Packet Pickup area race morning.  Please make sure your gear is secured in a bag and marked CLEARLY with your bib number.  

WHAT IF I LOSE SOMETHING THE DAY OF THE RACE?
Lost & Found is located near the awards area.  After the event, please contact info@runmambo.com to see if items were turned in.  Clothing items left in the start areas and along the course are immediately donated to charity and are not kept in Lost & Found.
