Do not cross the finish line if you have not completed the mapped out route for the course. Do not cross the finish line if you have not properly entered the event. 6] Encouraging other runners to run their best is always appropriate however do not cross the finish line more than once in an event. 7] Each participant is responsible to be able to hear starting instructions and finish line instructions at all times. 8] Participants may run with a baby jogger or a dog on a leash. You are solely and completely responsible and should be mindful not to impede others. 9] The courses that the events are run on are not closed to traffic though a permit and police assistance is required drivers are unpredictable and you MUST be aware of traffic at all times. 10] The awards are handed out in the finish chute.

Seek out officials after the ceremony to offer your discrepancy. 12] Announcing your name correctly during any awards presentation is always the goal. Please forgive any mispronunciation. Any help you may offer the announcer with the proper enunciation is always encouraged. 13] Assume the event will start on time, especially an event ACL is involved. It is highly recommended that you should be on site and fully ready to run at least 15 minutes prior to the start time.
