Track Etiquette
All runners must obey the following rules. Anyone not following these rules will be reminded by the referees directly during the race. Anyone blatantly disregarding them to the detriment of other runners will be disqualified by the referees
Runners must hug the inside of lane 6 leaving room for other runners to pass in the outside of lane 6, not all the way in lane 7 Runners must not run or walk two wide, single file only unless passing
Runners passing from behind will always move to the outside lane to make a pass, not on the inside of the track
If you are taking an extended walk-break or have slowed enough to disrupt the flow of the rest of the race, please use the outside of lane 7 or inside of lane 8
If you are getting aid or using the restroom and need to get to the outside of lane 7, always check that you will not cut off another runner by doing so
Runners who are using short walk-breaks as a strategy for hitting their goals are permitted to do so without moving to the outside of lane 7. This rule is meant to impact runners who have slowed and are taking an extended walk break and thus disrupting the flow of the event
Portable music players may be used for all parts of the race
Crewing
Crew may not enter the track or obstruct any runner.
Crews are not allowed to run/walk with runners at any time during the race. No supporter pacing is allowed
Pacing
Runners of the opposite sex are not allowed to run with each other for more than two laps
Timing
Laps will be recorded by electronic chip timing and will be submitted for AURA and IAU record purposes
You may leave the track at any point in time during the race, but you must return to the same place before continuing. You may not leave and return directly by the timing equipment, to avoid double counting a lap. Your number of laps and distance will be shown on an electronic display near the start with continually updated results ‘live’ online
Results
All results will be listed as 24 hour distances
