RULES
RUN COURSE · Competitors may run or walk the run course. · Runners are not to cut the road tangents. Runners are to run on the left side of the road (opposing traffic) at all times unless the course is marked (or course marshals instruct you) to take you to the right side of the road. This situation arises when running on the left side of the road will take you around a blind corner creating a hazardous situation for both the runner and any approaching vehicle. · Unregistered pace runners are not allowed on the course. · Race numbers must be worn and be visible from the front. · Littering the course will result in disqualification.
