HEADPHONES

In accordance to the recommendations of USATF and the Road Runner's Club of America, we are requesting that you do not use Ipods or other headsets during the event.  Disobeying this rule will not result in disqualification, but you will compromise your safety and that of others by wearing a headset.  If you insist on wearing a headset we ask that you stay in the far right side of the runners lane.  We truly hope you'll opt to leave your headsets at home and instead let the incredible scenery serve as your motivation and inspiration.
