   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 for the safety of our permits.
