Rules and Regulations

1. Entry fees are non-refundable.

2. There is no race day registration. Online registration will end on October 1, 2012.

3. All participants must complete the course in six (6) hours.

4. Headphones (ipods, mp3 players, CDs, tape walkmans, radios, etc.) are discouraged. We encourage all walkers/runners to remove any headphones from your ears when a Road Marshall is in sight.

5. Baby Joggers, strollers, roller/in-line skates, etc. are prohibited.

6. The decisions of the race director are final in all matters.

7. All participants will start PROMPTLY at 7:30a. Runners may want to arrive early due to traffic and parking issues that may arise.

8. All marathon relay participants must remove their bracelet once they travel through their relay exchange.

9. All awards are based on chip time. Chip time is recorded by an electronic chip that is attached to a runner. Your chip records the time at which you cross the start line, the finish line and several split times in between. Chip time is often shorter than gun time because chip time begins when a runner crosses the start line while gun time starts when the gun is fired; many runners don’t cross the start line until several minutes after their official gun time has begun.

10. Runners must be registered for the event that they win/place for awards. They can officially switch races but must be registered in the race in which they win or place. A $5 service charge will be applied to any registration changes needed after registration has been completed.

11. Walker etiquette: runners will approach walkers quickly. Please be courteous; move over to the sides of the roads when runners approach and let them have the right of way and quickest way past. There is a large field of elite runners who are competing for prizes.

12. Age requirements for the Marathon – at least 18 years old; Half Marathon – at least 16 years old; and Marathon Relay – at least 14 years old.

13. There are no registration transfers to another person, except for relays. There will be a $5 change fee.
