Waivers

• DOWNLOAD:  Waiver in PDF format
• No signed waivers - no participation in the relay and no T-shirts.
• Minor changes (deletions/additions) to waivers can be made on the day of the event, providing a waiver sheet is signed by new team members. (We’ll have a supply of blank waivers.)

Team Information

• Team themes/costumes are encouraged. Have fun, within the limits of common sense and safety.
• Limit the number of team vehicles you have on site as parking and overall traffic flow is a problem.
• Up to 10 members per team. (Runners can run more than one leg for the same team.)
• All participants must sign a waiver prior to participating.
• No substitution of runners during legs.
• All runners must sign in with the registrar (at the finish line) prior to the start of their leg. If they don't, we assume your runner didn't start and your team will be given the slowest time for that leg plus 10 minutes.
• Since Leg #1 starts in the dark, all runners participating in that leg must wear a reflective vest (you MUST provide your own vest).
• Teams who fail to start a runner for any of the legs will not be disqualified. They will be assigned the slowest time for that leg plus 10 minutes, and life will go on.
• If a runner does not finish a leg, that’s OK. The team will be assigned the slowest time plus 5 minutes.
• For safety reasons, all participants must be able to maintain a 10:00/mile pace. Leg cut-off times are based on the slowest participants running at a 10:00/mile pace. It is the Team Captain’s responsibility to ensure that all team members and capable of maintaining a 10:00/mile pace.
• Legs will start on time. Teams with a runner who does not complete his/her leg prior to the start of the next leg will be responsible to either remove their runner from the course or remain at the finish line until he/she finishes. That runner will be given the slowest time plus 5 minutes. The finish line crew cannot stay behind to time that runner.
• If, for some reason, the relay gets off schedule, the next leg will be started on time in accordance with the posted start times. This could mean that some runners may not be given the full 10:00/mile allowance for the current leg. The bottom lines is that we must finish in Lunenburg on time at the end of the day.
• Bib numbers must be worn on the front of the runner’s shirt or jacket - NOT SHORTS, clearly visible, using 4 pins (one in each corner).
• Runners will be recorded (team number, position, and time) as they pass through the finish chute. Runners who do not pass through the chute or who do not clearly display their team number may be eliminated from the final results.

The Relay

• All 10 legs will start on time as per the established scheduled.
• There are no change or shower facilities available along the route or at any of the finish areas.
• Port-a-potties are available at the start of leg 1 and at the end of Leg #3. Other than that there are no washroom facilities provided by the event organizers. Washrooms are available at various service stations and stores along the way. Be sure to buy something from them if you use their facilities.
• The finish line will be the imaginary line extending from the bumper of the finish line vehicle.
• Water stops will be provided (at 4K intervals - approximately). For road safety reasons, team members are not permitted to give their runners refreshments or cross the road on foot along the course. Penalties will be given to offenders, which could result in team disqualification.
• We need teams to help us with the water stops. We'll provide the equipment you will need. Theme aid stations and costumes are encouraged. Prizes will be awarded for the most enthusiastic water stop.
• Results will be posted at the finish line at the end of each leg.

Important announcements will be made at the start/finish lines throughout the event - bring your ears!
