Vermont 50 Trail Rules and Regulations for Crew Members

1. Each race participant is allowed only one (1) crew vehicle on course.
2. All crew vehicles MUST have and display an Crew Aid Station Car Access Hang Tags in order to access the aid stations. Crew Aid Station Car Access Hang Tags must be picked up Saturday at the Crew table.
3. Crews must follow the crew direction routes and stay off “closed to event traffic” roads.
4. Crews must follow the directions given by race officials and aid station personnel.
5. Littering is taken seriously in Vermont – please help keep Vermont green!
6. Parking in undesignated areas will not be permitted. This is any place that the event doesn’t specifically tell you to park. Do not block roads or driveways. Do not park on lawns! If you leave your vehicle in an unapproved area, it will likely be towed at your expense.
7. Offering aid to race participants from a vehicle anywhere other than an official “crew access” aid station is strictly prohibited. Designated parking areas of Crew Access Stations are considered acceptable areas for participants to receive aid.
8. Being at an aid station that is not an official “crew access” station is strictly prohibited.
9. All roads are still open to the public at all times (with the exception of designated ‘closed to event traffic’ roads). Do not set up on the road, and take care when crossing the road.

Crew Guidelines

• There are three (3) aid stations: Skunk Hollow, Greenall’s and Johnson’s at which you will be able to meet your race participant along the course. 
• MEETING OR HELPING RACE PARTICIPANT AT ANY OTHER LOCATION IS NOT ALLOWED. 
• Crew Aid Station Car Access Hang Tags must be picked up Saturday at the Crew Table and must be used at all times.  Cars on the course must be kept to a minimum so you need to follow the crew directions from one authorized station to the next.  
• Please don’t use your GPS; there are very bad, impassable roads that your device won’t know about. Also, there are roads that we cannot use due to landowner sensitivity, and we need to keep vehicles off runner routes as much as possible.
• Crews are NOT allowed to park anywhere other than locations posted and allowed by race management.
• FOLLOW ALL POSTED SPEED LIMITS. In some locations, it is 25 or 30 mph.  The local police know ‘visitors’ are in town and are quick to ticket.  In the absence of a sign, the speed limit on dirt roads is 30 mph.
• If your participant drops from the race, THE RACE PARTICIPANT OR CREW MUST NOTIFY RACE PERSONNEL AT ONCE.
