Runners must wear the bibs on the FRONT of their person, and must wear the bib number associated with their name.

SAFETY AND COURSE ETIQUETTE:  Aid and water stations will be provided along the course and at the finish line this year. Because you will be running on area roads and sidewalks, the use of headphones and baby strollers are discouraged and participants do so at their own risk. Bicycles, roller blades, and pets are prohibited.  Note: because this is an open course, there may be traffic on the roads.  Parents of young children should run with their kids. ONLY RUNNERS ARE ALLOWED ON THE 10K COURSE.
