Baby joggers or strollers: If you choose to run with a baby jogger, please seed yourself toward the back of the start line. It is your responsibility to make sure the baby jogger does not impede other runners, and you must take extra precaution to ensure your safety, your child's safety and the safety of the runners around you. We reserve the right to pull any person from the race who is endangering other runners or themselves.
Pets: Pets are not allowed on the course. This is to ensure runner safety and comply with liability insurance policies.
Headphones: iPods, mp3 players, etc are not recommended during the race. If you do run with headphones, it is requested that you keep one ear free to be able to hear safety vehicles.
Transfers: There are no transfers or refunds. While this may seem harmless to the parties perpetrating the unauthorized bib transfer, it does convey serious consequences to the organizers and participant field alike. From race results to finishers' awards being impacted as well as medical staff being able to correctly identify participants in need of treatment, it is imperative that the registration data associated with your race number does in fact belong to you, the participant.
Routes Changes: Routes are subject to change, due to unforeseen issues with weather, road construction or permitting requirements.
Cancellation Policy: No refunds or transfers are provided.
