For the safety and comfort of all participants, we’ve made the decision to keep this a pet-free event.+ The race is located within Clinton

State Park, so all vehicles will need a sticker for the day or a yearly pass. Stop at the Kiosk to obtain this. If you arrive prior to the kiosk opening, there is a self-pay station at campground 3 to obtain the parking permit. All vehicles must have this permit.+ Each time block will be capped at 50 runners.The Joy Hawk Addendum: Racers can run linked together during the event. We understand the joy of running every step of a race together with a friend, and that would be difficult to do if each person spins different loops. Friends who wish to run together for the entire race should check-in at packet pick-up at the same time and announce their desire to run the race linked. Rules for linked racers:+ Will spin the wheel as a team instead of individually. + Must run the entire race together. Loops run individually or without one linked team member will not count. + If a linked team places, they will share the award. If four or more linked teams are running within a time block, we will

announce and recognize team rankings within that block. + Linked teams cannot exceed 5 racers. Event's current local time: 4:17 AM CT
