RUNNERS
Read the Rules. Be safe.

Since there are no road closures, traffic control or aid stations, obey the California Vehicle Code:

		Cross roads only in crosswalks or at intersections.
		Stop at red lights.
		Do not run in a bicycle lane when a sidewalk is adjacent.

Seconds do not separate winners in long relays. Cross intersections with caution and allow approaching vehicles to pass. Do not take risks. Be safe!

Run on the RIGHT side of the road with traffic except on Legs 1 and 18. Wear reflective vests when out of the van. When spectating, do not force runners onto the road by obstructing the shoulder. Be alert!

Write allergies, contacts, illnesses and medications on the backs of bibs to expedite the delivery of emergency care.

RUNNING AT NIGHT
From sunset to sunrise, wear reflective vests and carry lighted flashlights. Women may run with escorts, phones and/or pepper spray.

DO NOT BRING:
Alcohol, bicycles, children, headphones, pets.

DRIVERS
Follow traffic laws. Vehicles may not trail runners but must drive ahead to the Exchange to ready the next runner. Do not stop within 500 feet BEFORE Exchanges. Park beyond Exchanges before exiting vehicles.

To reduce congestion, only one vehicle per team (Active Van) may park in Exchanges. Active and Resting Vans may park in Van Exchanges (6, 12, 18, 24, 30).

Park off the road. Do not block traffic or private drives. Do not force runners onto the road by obstructing the shoulder. Do not drive on vegetation to avoid starting a fire.

Vans must carry supplies because there are no aid stations.
