🎧 Headphone & Passing Etiquette for Race Day
To keep everyone safe and moving smoothly on our two-loop course with several narrow bridges, please keep these guidelines in mind:

⚠️Headphones:
If you choose to run with headphones, keep one ear open so you can hear other runners approaching. Staying aware helps keep the course safe for everyone. If you block the path and can’t hear instructions, you may be removed from the course.

⚠️Passing:
When passing another runner, give a quick “On your left!” whenever possible. If you’re not passing, please stay to the right and leave space on greenways so faster athletes can get by safely.

Let’s work together to make race day smooth, safe, and enjoyable for all!
