5K ETIQUETTE TIPS
In order to create a safe and friendly race environment, please be mindful of the following 'Road Rules':
  • Arrive early -  allow plenty of time to get to the start area and find your corral
  • Don't over or under estimate your pace - this can cause lots of unnecessary maneuvering at the start
  • Pay attention to instructions from race officials, police and volunteers
  • Don't create a barricade to participants behind you by running or walking too many abreast
  • Walkers stay to the right when possible, unless passing.
  • Pass on the left when possible and give a verbal warning, a friendly "Passing on the left" is sufficient
  • Listen to your surroundings, don't drown them out with headphones
  • Don't cut off other runners/walkers at water stops, be aware of people behind you and keep moving
  • When tossing your water stop cup, try to get it off to the side so volunteers can easily sweep it up and it is not in the way of other participants
  • Keep moving through the finish line. Others will be coming in right behind you, keep going until it's safe to come to a stop.
