To ensure participant safety and follow youth distance recommendations set forth by the Road Runners Club of America (RRCA) and USA Track & Field (USATF), the following age parameters apply to our event options:

• 3-Hour Event: Open to participants of all ages. (Runners under 18 must have a parent or legal guardian sign their waiver).
• 6-Hour, 12-Hour, and 24-Hour Events: Restricted to participants 18 years of age and older on race day.

• Littering on the course will subject you to disqualification.
• Race officials have the right to evaluate runners who are struggling, and it will be their call if they are allowed to continue.
• All runners have the right to the inside lane. If you are in the inside of lane 1, stay as far inside as possible so other runners may pass you.
• Do not buddy up and run or walk side by side in the inside lanes. Running should be done single file. If you need to buddy up, please take it to an outside lane (5 or 6).
• Runners will be allowed to bring gear, nutrition, etc. for their own pit area. You can set up a small tent but absolutely NO TENT STAKES. This is a turf venue so you will need to weigh down any tents.

Runners may have crew support every lap. The crew must stay in the designated area in the infield of the track near the start line. Pacers will not be allowed unless they are registered participants.
