7 SUNDAY RACE START TIMES 9:00am XTERRA Trail Running National Championship Half Marathon Start 9:05am XTERRA 5.8km and 10km Trail Run starts 11:00 am XTERRA Kid s Sprint (free) GENERAL RULES No headphones of any kind are permitted while competing. Competitors must display their run number on the front of their body. No advertising stickers, writing, cutting or alterations of the race number are allowed. VIOLATORS WILL BE PENALIZED, and incur a cash penalty of up to $500 deducted from prize money and/or time penalties from 2 minutes. Number holders are permitted. Cutting the Course: Short-cutting and/or cutting trail switchbacks on course is not permitted and may result in disqualification. All athletes are required to stay on the designated trail that is marked as the race course. It is the athlete s responsibility to know the designated race course. Lack of tape or barriers on the course will not constitute an excuse for cutting the course. Protests of any nature must be submitted within one hour of the finish time of the person lodging the protest. Protests must be submitted in writing and signed by the accuser. Saying somebody cut the course is not good enough - it must be written and described as accurately as possible. All protests will be investigated. Because of the nature of XTERRA, it is not always possible to see infractions. XTERRA is in the woods, out of sight and marshaled only where necessary. In every case there will need to be verification of the infraction. Officials will not be drawn into a hear-say argument. Competitors may not use inline skates or other devices, human or otherwise powered, to assist them in running. COURSE MARKINGS The course will be clearly marked using a mixture of core flute signs and red arrows as well as bright tape tied to trees to re- assure you that you are going the right way. RUN RUN Please watch out for course signage along with our course marshals who will be pointing you in the right direction. Official Medical Provider of XTERRA USA Championship McKay-Dee Sports Medicine is committed to providing comprehensive sports medicine services that enhance the safety and well being of participants involved in professional, semi- professional, high school sports and community based athletic and recreational events.
