Rules
(1) keep the park clean. If you leave an aid station with trash then take it with you to the next aid station. You can leave your trash at the aid stations. (2) You must run the entire course. No cutting across out and back loops or S-turns. It's pretty simple: just stay on the trail. (3) This is not a cross country event. It is a trail race.

You must allow a runner to pass if they come up behind you and are faster than you. Much of this is single track and thus has limited places to pass. Trail etiquette is such that we allow runners to pass if they wish. You can speed up, move over, or just ask if they want by. If you wish to beat somebody, run faster, but do not trap them behind you.

Our request is that you respect these parks. The city and most of its residents are quite proud of these parks and we feel privileged to have the use of them. Our agreement is very tenuous and we will be closely watched to see how we care for the parks. With that in mind, this may be a very short lived relationship or a very long way, based solely upon how we manage ourselves. We plan to go back out to check the course to make sure it's clean. Please help us with this. We thank you in advance for doing so.

Also, these parks are not closed. They are still open to the public. They have been posted to provide notice of our intentions, but you may still cross somebody not in the event. Please understand their right to be there also and treat them the understanding that they have as much right to be there as you do.

No support is allowed on the course except at the aid stations.
