• If you come across an injured fellow runner, please stay with that person until you reach an aid station.
• No short-­cutting.
• Runners may not store supplies of any kind along the trail. Your shoes, clothing, and nutrition/hydration/emergency supplies, carried on your body are all that you should bring on your run to ensure competition fairness, your safety and that of other runners.
• Poles are allowed & recommended.
• Headphones ARE permitted, but NOT RECOMMENDED. If you must, please do so at volume that allows you to remain aware of your surroundings at ALL TIMES. We request that you only run with one ear bud in but if you chose to run with both in you MUST have the volume low enough so that you can hear other runners, hikers, and any potential wildlife.
• Runners may not receive assistance outside of designated Aid Stations by anyone other than another registered active runner. This standard is enforced for fairness to all runners. Runners do not need to have a crew. You are allowed to receive assistance from a crew within aid station boundaries so long as your crew does not impede other runners or race staff.
• Dropping Out (DNF/Did Not Finish): If you find it necessary to “DNF” the race, you must do so at an aid station when you reach the Acacia Tree area (for 21k runners). Notify the aid station marshal and have the marshal remove your bib number. If you feel you cannot get to the nearest aid station, stay on the trail, call the assistance of other runner and find the sweeper to assist you. Do not leave the course without notifying an aid station marshal or sweeper.

• Mandatory Drop Out: Medical staff and aid station captains have the authority to pull a runner from the event should they deem it unsafe for the runner to continue. The runner must comply with this decision.
