In accordance with the guidelines issued by USA Track & Field
and Wheelchair Sports USA, only runners, walkers and wheelchair
participants will be allowed on the course. The term “wheelchair,” as
defined for this event, means push-rim wheelchairs only.
In addition, guidelines for participants in wheelchairs
state that all chairs must be equipped with brakes and
participants must wear helmets.
The following are prohibited on the course: runners going backwards, jump ropes, animals (dogs, cats, birds or any other exotic or domestic pets!), bicycles, baby strollers, baby joggers, roller skates, in-line skates, skateboards and headset devices (MP3 players, iPods, etc). No wheeled vehicles are allowed other than wheelchairs. No exceptions. Please do not use cell phones during the race, as these can be hazardous.
In areas, only the side of the road runners are on will be closed to vehicular traffic. As such, it is imperative that you stay within the cones marking the course. Any deviations from the marked race course can result in a disqualification!
It is our intent to provide the safest possible race course. Those who participate in violation of these rules will be disqualified and removed from the course.
Foot runners and authorized vehicles have the right-of-way at all times. Wheelchair participants must yield the right-of-way to foot runners and to course vehicles.
Any assistance received from anyone other than an official aid station volunteer or other course official may result in a disqualification.
