Absolutely NO Transferring of bib numbers. Registered runners only! This is critical to the safe tracking of all participants and the future of this event. If you are caught transferring or selling your bib, using a pacer or running as a bandit, you will be barred from future events.

Time Constraints will be STRICTLY enforced. These are not suggestions and are no longer up to the discretion of event staff or participants. A runner MUST LEAVE an aid station ahead of cut off times.

You must stay on established trail. You are not allowed to leave the trail or make a new trail to shorten the course.

If dropping from the race you must turn in your number the Aid Station captain, course marshal or Race Directors.

No littering. This should go without saying, but this is not a road marathon, do not throw your trash on the ground.

In addition, you will be disqualified for littering on State Park property.
