Can I cross the finish line with my athlete?
Friends and/or family are not allowed to cross the finish line or enter the finish zone with participating athletes. This policy ensures that every competitor has adequate time to celebrate their achievement without interference from others and maintains the safety of all participants, volunteers, and spectators. Athletes who do not comply with this policy will be automatically disqualified (DQ).
Can I enter the finish zone to greet my athlete?
Due to high congestion in the finish zone, spectators will not be allowed access. Please do not attempt to enter this area, as it must remain clear for athlete safety. Before the event, arrange a meeting spot with your athlete for after they have finished.
Will I be allowed into the medical tent to look for my athlete if they have not arrived at our meeting spot?
The medical tent is often highly congested, and spectators will not be allowed entry. If you are looking for an athlete, contact a member of the STAFF team.
