We want to be able to continue to offer this event for your enjoyment. Therefore, we ask for your cooperation in following the rules. The event is monitored by the Provincial Government and the RCMP. If they feel that the organizers or participants are not acting responsibly, they have the power to shut us down.

• It is a privilege, not a right, that the participants of this event are able to enjoy the use of the roadways. Failure, by any one of the participants, to comply with any of the following rules could result in disqualification of one or more teams or possibly the cancellation of the event. Your consideration and cooperation will be greatly appreciated.
• It is the responsibility of the team captains to ensure that all team members and support crews are aware of all rules. It is the responsibility of all participating runners, and members of team support crews, to follow the rules.
• All runners will be ultimately responsible for their own safety. Common sense must prevail at all times.
• You will not be permitted to obstruct vehicular traffic.

Rule #1: Run on the left side of the road only. No crossing over for any reason - all finish lines are on the left.

Rule #2: Run in single file, as close to the shoulder as possible. Overtake other runners only when it is safe to do so. Pull off on the shoulder to allow for oncoming traffic.

Rule #3: Only one team runner at a time will be permitted on the course. No pacing by team members.
