Course Etiquette  

• Please do not push or rush to the starting line once the gun goes off. 
• Walk calmly and orderly to the starting line and then start running.
• As much as possible, please try to run at an even pace the entire race instead of starting and stopping, sprinting and walking, etc.
• Should you need to walk, please move to the far right of the street and try to ease your pace into a walk instead of abruptly stopping.
• Allow runners to pass on the left.
• Please pass slower runners/walkers on the left.
• If you see a runner who needs medical attention, please alert a Course Marshal.
• Run or walk in pairs only.  No groups of three or more across the street as it would block other runners from passing.
• No dogs may accompany runners/walkers in the 5k.
• No bicycles are allowed on the race course (except for designated bike marshals).
• While strollers are discouraged, participants may run or walk with a stroller BUT they must start at the very back of the race (even if running with a Girl on the Run participant
