RULES & RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DAY OF EVENT!

5 & 10 Km Walk and Run)
| 1. |
If at all possible, we recommend carpooling for the morning of the event, as parking can get congested at the Dragon Lake Boat Launch area. Try to be there at least by 8:30 a.m., make sure number is visible on FRONT of shirt, relax and maybe do the porta-potti thing!!! |

Strollers, infant or toddler backpacks, bicycles, inline skates, and dogs (except certified Seeing Eye Dogs) are prohibited and pacing is not allowed. Failure to comply may lead to disqualification. |

To start, stay on right hand side of road, turning down Dragon Lake Road until approximately 1.5 km (watch
for arrow on road). Follow arrow to left side of road and stay on the left side for the duration facing traffic at
all times. Also use caution when reaching approximately 3 km as corner takes a sharp bend and shoulder
