Policies and Procedures
Race organizers reserve the right to modify the course/event last minute to accommodate hazards or problems that come up beyond our control.
Any changes that occur prior to the race will be discussed at the pre-race meeting and/or pre-start.
Photography: You may be photographed during this event by race organizers. These photos or videos may be used for event promotional purposes in the future.
No bib transfers.
Race Cancellation: In extreme circumstances, forces beyond our control may lead to the cancellation of this event. Unfortunately, hurricanes, ice storms, acts of human chaos, etc. do occur. If we feel that something is happening that puts our event participants at unnecessary risk, we may choose to, or be required to cancel the event. In the case of a last minute cancellation of the event we will most likely not be able to reschedule the event. If the event is cancelled, it is possible that you will receive no refund of your entry fee. We will however, endeavor to issue refunds, or make other compensation to the extent funds are available to do so. Don't worry, we won't do this unless we deem it absolutely necessary.
All participants are required to follow the rules laid out in our Rules for Competition. However, please use common sense. We also reserve the right to remove any runner who we deem may be putting themselves, other participants, volunteers, spectators, bystanders, etc. in any unnecessary risk.
