Race Rules

---

Vehicles: The beauty of this course is that it circumvents the
entire scenic Greenway trail, which prohibits all motorized
vehicular traffic.

Race Course: Caution and the safety of others must be observed at
all times. The Santa Rosa City permit process requires The Santa
Rosa Greenway remain an open race course. The entire pathway will
be shared with an occasional walker, bicyclist, runner, dog-
walker, strollers, etc. MP3 players and equivalent systems are not encouraged.

Course safety and etiquette: Since the course is an out and back
with a loop section that runners will be sharing, always practice
the courteous, logical, common, user friendly bear to the right
on the pathway and shout out if you are about to pass another
athlete or pedestrian.

Race time limits: All marathon and half marathon runners should
only participate if they are confident that they can finish the
race in seven hours or less. Traffic control, race monitors,
safety/health volunteers and race officials will vacate the
course at 2:00 pm. Anyone continuing to run the course will be
doing so at their own risk.

Course marshals: Course marshals will be patrolling
and monitoring the course for safety, health and directing
concerns:

Race number: Pin bib numbers on the front of your shirt/shorts and cross the finish line with your bib numbers visible to finish line personnel and photographers.

Chip returns: Race issued timing chips will be removed by volunteers at the finish line.

Cancelations / Postponements:  The Race Director reserves the right to cancel or modify the Marathon in consideration of Boston qualifier adjustments, permit requirements, extremely adverse weather conditions, other health or safety factors and issues that pose an imminent threat to competitors or volunteers.

The Race Director reserves the right to disqualify any individual who does not comply with these rules.
