| IPODS AND AUDIO DEVICES |
In accordance with the guidelines set by USATF and the Road Runner's Club of America, we are strongly recommending that you do not use Ipods or other audio devices during the events. Choosing to use an audio device will NOT result in disqualification, but you will compromise your safety and that of others by wearing a headset. 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 and face disqualification. 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. |
