Dear Runners/Walkers:

3. There are bathrooms on the first floor of the restaurant as well as the second level of the restaurant.  Race starts at 2:30pm.  If necessary, be sure to use the bathrooms well before the 2:30pm start time.  Race will start even if folks are in the bathroom.

4. For those who are 21 years or older and would like a free St Boniface beer at the completion of the event, please see one of Reinholds Inn Restaurant employees to show your ID and receive your wrist band.  The wrist band will act as your free beer ticket and will be removed when you pick up your beer.   Wrist bands are NOT transferable to anyone else.  Please note you may have to show your ID after completion of the event even if you have a wrist band.

5. For those under 21, or who do not want a beer, The Reinholds Inn Restaurant will provide one free beverage (soda, juice, etc…).

6. Water will be available just past the 2 mile mark.  Our friends from the Ambulance Association will be volunteering and providing water.

8. Traffic will be stopped along 897 at the start of the race (Thank you Fire Police).  Traffic will resume after all runners and walkers turn left onto Galen Hall Rd.

10. Traffic will NOT be held on the rest of the course (roads are open).  We are placing signs along the roads to inform drivers of a race in progress and “Runners on the Road.”  Be mindful of vehicles traveling along the roads.

11. Run/walk on the left hand side of the road so you can observe and monitor oncoming vehicles.

12. While running/walking, stay as far left on the road as possible.  Other runners/walkers should pass on the right hand side of the runner/walker in front of you.  If you are passing someone, the person you are passing should be on your left hand side.
