In order to comply with city permits, the bridge must be reopened to vehicular traffic on a set schedule.

If you are caught by the Sweep Vehicle, you MUST board this vehicle for transport to the finish area. For your safety, the Police Department does not allow runners to continue once the course has been re-opened to traffic. Keep in mind that race services, including water stations and medical aid, will be discontinued once the Sweep Vehicle comes through. Finisher medals will be awarded only to those finishing within the allotted time limit.

For the safety of our runners the following are not allowed: going backward, runners not wearing a race number, animals, bicycles, baby joggers, strollers, roller skates, and roller blades.

Receiving outside assistance of any kind is not allowed. Outside assistance consists of, but is not limited to receiving fluids, gels, food or any personal items from someone not serving in an official race capacity; receiving pacing assistance from any person that is not a registered participant of the race.

Abusive behavior or language directed toward any other participant, volunteer, police officer, or staff member is also not allowed.

Any of these rule infractions can result in a time penalty or race disqualification. The discretion and final ruling reside with the Race Director.
