Race Numbers and Personal Bag Check:
Race numbers, pins and souvenir shirt to be picked up at registration location (tbc). Luggage check-in will begin 1 hour before start next to registration area.


Racer Etiquette:
1. Number goes on front (never on your back!).
2. Guys who need to race without shirt, need a number on front, not on your hip or leg.
3. Runners who have finished, please do not go back and run towards the finish line again as this causes problems with our timekeeping. Please don't make their job more difficult than it already is.
4. Stay in single file line through the finishing chute, no passing, no going out.
5. If passing on the course please yell "passing on your left" or "passing on your right". No pushing please.
6. If dropping out during the race please notify the nearest checkpoint or finish line timing, so they can clearly mark your race number (and name) that you are dropping out. If this doesn’t happen then we have to send emergency rescue after you and keep marshals behind.
