FINISH LINE & POST-RACE INFO

BRING A CHAIR AND HANG OUT!
I will provide you all with post-race food, and lots of yummy snacks. We are trying to be a plastic free race so I will not have individual bottled waters. Please fill up your handhelds or bottle from my gallon jugs. It will be a great day to cheer on runners!

RULES + RESPONSIBILITIES

1. NO LITTERING. 99% of you would never think of it, but it must be said. DO NOT ever drop trash anywhere other than in a trash bag, at an aid station. If trash is seen on the trail, I could lose permits!
2. WE ARE CUP-LESS. Please bring a reusable cup/hydration pack/bottle. Find them at running stores (including Fleet Feet where we will have bib pickup) & REI.
3. BE NICE, BE KIND, OR BE CUT. Be nice to each other, be nice to the volunteers, be nice to other trail users – or be disqualified. KHRaces does not tolerate abuse of any kind, to anyone.
4. BE ON TIME. We cannot allow runners to start the race late. Please arrive with enough time to get your bib, get settled and get to the start line on time. This is for your safety, and required by our permit.
5. BE CLEAN. Volunteers will use tongs to hand out snacks, etc. Runners must open & close their own packs/handhelds and volunteers will fill with whatever liquids you need.
6. BE AWARE. Music/headphones are OK, but keep the volume low & be aware of guidance from aid station volunteers, other runners & trail users.
7. NO PACERS OR CREWS.
8. HAVE FUN!
