Additional Notes
• All participants must stay on the right-hand side of the trail. People may be passing you or coming from the opposite direction.
• Our starting line will begin with all of the competitive runners, followed by joggers, followed by walkers and people with strollers. The time will begin with a shot gun start.
• If you do not plan on walking/running the entire course, are injured, etc., please do not enter the chute at the finish line. This will cause discrepancies in the results and awards.
• Please make sure to keep the trail free of garbage, cups, bottles, pet waste, etc. Garbages will be located throughout the course. It is our intention to continue to make this a yearly event, so we want to make sure we will be welcomed back year after year!
• During the walk/run, if you have questions or concerns at any point, please reach out to a volunteer in a reflective vest. We will have volunteers at water stations, course marshals directing traffic flow, and volunteers on carts monitoring the course. Should you encounter a serious medical emergency, please dial 911 first.
• Please make sure to note our sponsor signs, which are located along the course, and promote and support them when you can!
