RACE RULES: An informed team will have a successful race!
|
- Don't get DQ'ed! Important rules and tips about how to
hand off your Relay timing chip are posted on
the Relay page at RunCIM.org, along with exchange zone and transportation information.
- Your team must complete the entire course to be listed in the official results. Any team that does not complete the entire course will be disqualified. DO NOT ALLOW A TEAM MEMBER OF A TEAM NOT COMPLETING THE ENTIRE COURSE TO CROSS THE FINISH LINE!
- No early starters and no late starters. The starting area closes five minutes after the starting gun is fired, so do not be late for the start. The course starting area is monitored by the race personnel for "illegal early and late starters."
- The only wheeled vehicles allowed on the course are those of the wheelchair competitors and CIM officials.
- No non-registered runners. It is unfair and illegal to have unregistered people run with you or offer assistance. Video cameras and officials will be stationed throughout the course to preserve the integrity of the event. Runners receiving illegal assistance WILL BE DISQUALIFIED.
- Do not allow anyone to come onto the course to accompany your team's leg #4 runer on the final stretch to the finish. This is illegal, can result in disqualification, and can cause serious problems including injuries to you or to other runners. Reunite in the finish area for your celebration!
- Electronic sound devices: USATF rule - award winners (both overall and age division) will be disqualified for wearing these devices. Potential overall or age division award winner must not wear these. The CIM discourages their use for all runners, but has not banned them.
- Don't run on the wrong side of the road. The certified route after the 10.5 mile point is on the RIGHT side of the center yellow line. Prior to the 10.5 mile mark, you are allowed to run on the entire road.
- Team category/division awards are based on GUN TIME, not Chip time.
