How Not to Be That Runner

To make sure everyone has a great time and no one ends up being the subject of extra roasts, please follow these simple guidelines:

• Stay right, pass left. Treat the course like Houston traffic should work. Keep to the right and run or walk no more than two across so others can pass without needing to hurdle you. 

• No pets, please. We love dogs, but this isn’t the place for Fido to chase squirrels. 

• Strollers and walkers, you’re legends. You’re absolutely welcome! Just start toward the back of the chute and keep things smooth. We’d prefer your baby’s first race photo not be captioned “local menace on wheels.” 

• Headphones are fine... sorta. For safety (and comedic purposes), keep one ear open. You’ll want to hear the punchlines and maybe that runner breathing down your neck. 

• Bib placement matters. Wear your race bib on the front of your outermost layer. That’s how we track your time, your photos, and your eventual transformation into a sweaty, triumphant meme.
