| ELIGIBILITY |
Anyone eight years of age or older and in good health.
NO WHEELS, PETS OR CHILDREN UNDER EIGHT ALLOWED ON THE COURSE. |
| HEADPHONES |
USA Track & Field has amended Rule 144.3, which pertains to the use of headphones and other electronic devices, to enable race directors to choose to allow the use of headphones by runners in non-championship races. The rule now reads: "The following shall be considered assistance and therefore not allowed:
The visible possession or use by athletes of video, audio, or communications devices in the competition area. The Games Committee for an LDR event may allow the use of portable listening devices not capable of receiving communication; however, those competing in Championships for awards, medals, or prize money may not use such devices."
Our organization will allow the use of Ipods and other headphone devices by those not competing for prize money or divisional awards. We continue to stress that by using an audio device you will compromise your safety and that of others. If wearing an Ipod or other audio device results in you being unable to hear verbal instructions or commands, or approaching vehicles or course marshals on bicycles, you may be asked to relinquish the device. We ask that you take responsibility and use good judgement if you opt to wear an audio device. Because the right lane of Highway 1 is open to vehicular convoys the safety of our participants is our first priority. We truly hope you'll opt to leave your headsets at home and instead let the incredible scenery and music we provide on the course serve as your motivation and inspiration. |
