Course
Measurement
and Markings: All courses will be
accurately measured using the same USATF
method used to certify road courses (where
possible). This is more accurate than GPS, MapMyRun,
GoogleEarth, or other similar mapping programs.
There will be accurate mile markers.
All courses will be extremely well marked. You will
not get lost - guaranteed (entry fee
will be refunded less $5).
Rules:
- No littering. Drop cups, gel/bar wrappers
at or near aid staions, or carry them to the
finish.
- Headphones: Stongly discouraged. Enjoy
the sounds of nature. If you insist on wearing
headphones, you must leave one ear free, and you
must keep the music low - low enough to be able
to hear directions from course officials talking
in a normal voice, and to be able to hear other
runners around you.
- No pacers by bike or non-registered
runners.
- No pets.
Volunteers: Additional
volunteers are always welcome. Help out your
fellow runners and give back to the sport, and
earn hours towards volunteer requirements. Contact
Adam to learn more.
