Safety

Safety is our top priority to ensure a fun race day experience. By planning ahead and following essential safety tips, runners can enjoy their race day to the fullest.  Make sure participate in our warm-up, stay hydrated, wear appropriate footwear, and choose a running corral for your fitness level. Here are some safety precautions we have in place to make race day safe and enjoyable for everyone!

The start line will be located at the Elk/Beaver Lake Regional Park filter beds. Please note that this is a trail run so the surface may be uneven, plan ahead with proper footwear and gear!  As the path is on a trail, there are some areas that are narrower and there are areas with exposed roots, we recommend those that are looking at bringing strollers ensure they are all terrain models designed for outdoor use.  Due to the rugged terrain of the trails at Elk/Beaver Lake, wheelchairs and accessibility aids are not recommended.


 
Staying safe on the race route 

  • Buddy System: We encourage participants to run with a buddy or in groups. This ensures that someone is always there to help in case of an emergency – and running is better with friends! We ask that a parent or guardian run the route with children under the age of 16 as we have thousands of runners joining us on race day and it can be easy for children to get lost or hurt in a busy environment without supervision. 
  • Pick a meeting spot: If you do get separated from your guardian or group on race day, be sure to have picked out a meeting spot before you leave on your run. Pick a landmark like the main stage or picnic shelter. If you do find yourself separated, find a volunteer in a green shirt or a race official.
  • Have contact information handy: We will provide wristbands at t-shirt pick up for kids, please use these and fill them out with a guardian’s contact information, so if you get separated on race day, officials can help to reunite you. Race bibs are also a great place to include your contact info! 

First Aid   

We want everyone to leave the race injury free, but we have several first aid stations and attendants onsite to keep everyone safe. While on the route, keep an eye out for first aid attendants in red on bikes if you need help. There will also be a first aid stations, located in the Festival Zone. 

 

Emergency Response 

In case of an emergency that requires evacuation, follow the instructions of race officials. They will guide you to the nearest safe exit and muster stations. Listen for announcements over the PA system for any important updates or instructions during the event.
