Courtesies to our Race Community

Please obey ALL Speed limits
Please be courteous to everyone you see and meet-you represent our race!
No-PRE RACE COURSE running or mountain biking Our course is ONLY for our race. The property owners do not want it used at other times.

If you get lost (but you won’t) you must go back on your own to the spot you went off course without assistance (e.g. car rides, etc) and then continue.

Leave No Trace We have been in danger of losing this race because of complaints by property owners about the amount of trash left on some trails. Please carry your trash to the next aid station, or drop it just after a station. Please be very considerate of the landowner’s property. Please do not litter!!

There are leash laws in the towns you will be going through. All dogs should be restrained.
