HOW TO EASILY FIND & GET YOUR BEST PHOTOS

Place your Bib on your Chest or Abdomen facing front, Not on your side or your back!

The photos on RunSignUp will be easily searchable by your name or Bib# if your Bib# clearly shows in the photo.
So please take your time to have your Bib# clearly displayed for our photographers!

Finish Line Photos:
For the best-looking Finish Line photos, make sure to keep your head up, arms up, do not look at your watch, stay in the center, and SMILE for the camera! And try not to get too close behind another runner who may block your photo.
You will then get a GREAT Finish Line photo!

We normally try to take 2 zoomed in photos as you approach the FL (at 10yds & 5yds out), and the last photo right after you cross the FL, at about 1yd!

Special Photos:
Don’t hesitate to ask Ed, our photographer to take any special photos of you and your friends and family. He is there to help you get those special memorable photos at the race!

 

Note: We try to photograph everyone, but it is not always possible.

Event Rules and Regulations

USA Track & Field has issued a set of rules to maintain consistency and order from race to race across the country. The rules include sections on membership, and rules of conduct. The USATF Competition Rules book is available for viewing, in PDF format below.
Complete 2014 USATF Competition Rules Book
Every participant, official, volunteer and spectator should consider all safety issues and make related decisions prudently without reliance upon the Competitive Rules.

Safety

A Shared Responsibility:- No matter what inspired you to become an athlete, you’re responsible for showing up at the starting line fully prepared for the challenge ahead of you. Safety in the sport is not just the responsibility of the National Governing Body, sanctioned events and race directors, who are subject to the scrutiny of USATF sanctioning process and expected to uphold the best safety protocols. It's also the responsibility of the athlete.

Reminders
