- Anyone who starts after the main group has begun is welcome to do so, and their time will still be accurate.
- Strollers are allowed.
- Headphones, iPods and mp3 devices are allowed, though strongly not recommended. It is the participant's responsibility to make sure they do not impair their ability to hear and detect present or potential hazards and dangers, as well as verbal instructions from course marshals.

City insight: Columbus
Columbus is a consolidated city-county on the Chattahoochee River in west-central Georgia, directly across from Phenix City, Alabama, and the county seat of Muscogee County. It is the second most populous city in Georgia after Atlanta, with 206,922 residents at the 2020 census. Summers are hot and humid with mild winters, so spring and autumn are the best seasons to race.
