🐍 Special Safety Announcement

SPECIAL SNAKE SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENT
The race directors have once again concluded a special arrangement with the snakes of Clinton Lake not to attack any runners in "The Snake." On signing up, each entrant will be given a unique "snake name." As a runner, if you encounter a snake on the trail, simply identify yourself with your snake name, then give the snake as wide a berth as possible, and the snake will leave you in peace. Molesting snakes in any way violates the terms of our agreement with the snake population. When snakes and people meet, both should depart unharmed.

📜 Race Guidelines

• Respect the Trails: Stay on marked trails, and don't litter. Runners caught littering will be disqualified.
• Sign In/Out: We will have a sign in/sign out sheet on race day. This will let us know all runners are safely off the trails. Sign in when you get there, sign out before you leave.
• Dogs: Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash. Please ensure your dog is capable of handling the distance and heat.
• Other Guidelines: No jogging strollers or other wheeled vehicles, no drinking alcoholic beverages or smoking on the course during the race, and trails will be open to the public. Any runner under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult runner at all times during the race. Runners must carry a container for hydration while on the course.
