• Read the website, entry form or other race information before contacting the race director. All of the
race details you need are probably there. Pay particular attention to deadlines – they may seem
arbitrary to you, but race volunteers need lead time to prepare for race day.
• Respect entry restrictions. Check first if the race permits wheelchairs or baby joggers, or imposes a
minimum age. Any means of self propulsion (rollerblades, skateboards, bicycles, etc.) is not permitted.
And running with dogs or other animals is also not allowed. Ignoring such limitations will subject you to liability. If in doubt, check with the race organizers first.
• Position yourself appropriately at the start. If you are running slowly or walking, start at the back, so
as not to obstruct quicker participants.
• Be courteous to the volunteers. You have an event to run because of them. If you race, make sure
you help out proportionally at other events. You will be more appreciative of the sacrifices others make
for your benefit.
• Smile!
