WEATHER ON RACE DAY
The weather on race day is typically "June Gloom" with overcast skies. As always, things could heat up and you should be prepared to run in warm temperatures.
COURSE MARKINGS
On race day, the course is marked with gypsum arrows on the ground. There is always a possibility that hikers may tamper with course markings and this cannot be controlled. Always keep your eyes alert to your whereabouts. It is unlike that you will get lost during the race. If you notice you are not seeing arrows , simply back-track to the last mark you saw and you will be back on track.
COURSE SWEEPERS
Sweepers will head out from the starting line and will stay behind the last participant. Sweepers will pull ribbons and yes, they will actually carry brooms to sweep arrows. Because course marking may be removed behind you, it is important that runners always move forward on the race course, to avoid getting lost.
