VOLKSLAUF XII, 11 OCTOBER 2008

1. All runners must start VOLKSLAUF in their designated category. Once you've obtained your Runner's Packet at the Registration table, you may not change your category.

2. All runners must at least attempt to complete every obstacle unless a demonstrated special circumstance exists.

3. All teams must start, and finish, VOLKSLAUF together, in their respective categories. Team times are based on the time for the last team member crossing the Finish Line.

4. All runners must stay on the running trail unless injured or leaving the course.

5. VOLKSLAUF is a fun, family-oriented, event. BUT no horseplay is allowed on the course. Any runners involving themselves in horseplay will be DQ'd and asked to leave the course.

6. Once you have finished VOLKSLAUF, please move through the Finish Line area and off the course. Do not re-enter the course or play (or allow children to play) on any obstacles.

7. Remember, Course Referees and VOLKSLAUF Staff are present to insure the safety and "fun factor" of all runners. Please respect decisions made by them. All decisions made by the Race Director in dealing with conduct of runners on the course are final.

8.  No dogs (except guide dogs) will be allowed on the race site for any reason.  Any person (runner or spectator) bringing a dog onto the race site will be asked to return the dog to the owner's vehicle.  Due to most dogs' protective instincts, their inherent desire to chase after things which "run" (be they human or otherwise) and some dogs' attraction to water, there is significant liability in bringing a dog onto the race site. The VOLKSLAUF Board of Directors respectfully requests you honor this rule explicitly.
