The Fizzy 5k Race Rules
1) Runners must be in groups of six.
2) All members of a team should be present on race day. If members are not present at the event, then entries from the random relay may be selected to substitute for the missing participant. However, there may be no substitutes available. In this case, runners may either opt to complete more than one section of the race or the incomplete team may withdrawal from the event.
3) Runners may not switch teams or exchange bibs once they have officially registered.
4) Groups must designate one runner for each section of the relay race.
5) Each runner will complete only his or her section of the relay.
6) At the completion of a runner’s section, he or she must drink one entire can of soda. When the runner has emptied the can, he or she must turn the can upside down to prove no liquid is remaining. In order to complete the race, the final runner must drink one entire can of soda before crossing the finish line.
7) For the safety of participants, runners must be aware of their surroundings and allow room for others to pass them if need be.
8) Runners must stay on the course for the duration of their relay section. Once a runner has completed their section of the run, they are welcome to either complete the 5k as a solo runner or step off the course to cheer on their teammates from the sidelines.
9) Runners do not have to run! Runners may walk during the race if they so desire.
10) Participants must be 13 years of age of older.
11) No fighting, pushing, kicking, etc. will be permitted during the race.
