RULES + RESPONSIBILITIES
- NO LITTERING. DO NOT EVER drop trash anywhere other than in a trash bag, at an aid station. If trash is seen on the trail, we could lose our permits!
- WE ARE CUP-LESS. You absolutely must bring a reusable cup/hydration pack/bottle.
- 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.
- 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 is required by our permit.
- 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.
- BE AWARE. Music/headphones are OK, but keep the volume low & be aware of guidance from aid station volunteers, other runners & trail users.
- CREWS. Absolutely no crews or pacers allowed.
- HAVE FUN!
