    • Without the assistance of our invaluable volunteers we would not have a race.  Many of our volunteers have spent months/weeks/days preparing for this event.  Those who offer support during the race will be at their stations for several hours. They have given up their day and weekend in many cases to ensure you have a great race day and the best experience possible. Please give each volunteer the courtesy, respect and sincere thanks they each richly deserve.
    • Respect yourself, everyone and everything else including the land.
    • Violations of any race rules or any others implemented by the race director(s) verbally or in writing may be grounds for disqualification as determined by the race director(s).
    • Runners are responsible for the actions of their crews.
    • Everyone associated with the race must comply with all race rules including those given by race officials prior to and during the event.
    • Each runner’s official run number must be worn prominently on the body and must be easily visible at all times.
