• Water stations are available along the route.

• A Race Volunteer is always nearby ready to assist and is easily identified by their Yellow T-shirt.

• No dogs, skateboard, bicycles or motorized vehicles are allowe on the course for the safety of our participants.

• All runners and walkers should stay on the trail, keeping to the right side. Remain alert and watch for runners coming in the opposite direction.

• Park in designated areas only and watch for pedestrian traffic

• Please be courteous to each other and enjoy the day.
