-
If passing or getting passed be aware of your surroundings and do so with care.
-
If you bump into a person, keep running. . . but apologize.
-
If you knock a person down, stop and make sure they are okay.
-
If a person is coming up behind you, do not intentionally block their path.
-
Do not listen to music on the trails. This will 100% disqualify you from the race. You are welcome to sing.
-
Listen to the volunteers and park officials. If you have enough breath, thank them when you pass.
-
Do not throw trash on the trail. It is more work for the volunteers.
-
Do not use profanity on the trail. We are proud to have ages 7-74 racing and nobody needs to hear that.
"DON'T BE A JERK"
"NOT A JERK"
-
A fast runner is NOT a jerk. A runner who is slow is NOT a jerk. A person who needs to walk is NOT a jerk.
-
A person who runs by you and does not speak is NOT a jerk. They are racing and need to pass you.
-
A person who does not stop their running to get out of your way is NOT a jerk. They should not intentionally block your path, but they are racing too.
-
A person who sprints by a child, woman, or senior runner near the finish is NOT a jerk. Those runners had a head start and everyone is on an even playing field.
-
A person who does not announce they are passing is NOT a jerk. It is always preferred to announce a pass, but let's be honest. Those that do not get a head start need to pass 200+ runners to win. They can't announce a pass every time.
