●Participant Responsibilities
Participant Responsibilities
- Participants must be capable of running a half-marathon. Be sure to undergo adequate training.
- Participants must be examined by a physician and ensure they are in good physical shape before the race.
- Any participant the referees determine to be incapable of continuing or to be interfering with other runners (by running backwards or irregularly, etc.) may be asked to withdraw from the race.
- Organizers will provide first aid for accidents during the race but will bear no further responsibility. (The organizers will provide sports accident insurance for participants, but note that this insurance does not cover hospitalization due to internal disorders. Please understand that injuries or accidents during competition are covered only within the limits of this insurance.)
Be sure to bring your health insurance certificate with you on race day.
- Substitute running is unacceptable. Should substitute runners be detected the participant will be disqualified. Note also that substitute runners are not covered by insurance.
- Participants agree in advance to be photographed during competition and to entrust to the organizers the right to use such photographs in event pamphlets and other publications and on the official event web site. The organizers are also given the right to use such photographs in the pamphlet listing participants and in newspaper articles.
- Participants are prohibited from displaying or wearing any advertising, including trademarks or other designs suggestive of corporate or product names, within the event area (including the course).
Other
- Visually handicapped runners must be accompanied by a partner, who must be clearly identified.
- Because this is a mid-summer race and conditions may be quite hot, please be sure to take adequate precautions against sunstroke and heatstroke prior to the race and to remember to take water early during competition. In the event that you do feel ill during the race, retire from competition and ask race staff for assistance.
- Traffic control will be conducted during the race as required. During the race, traffic conditions may require asking runners to stop and wait while vehicle traffic is given priority. Please follow traffic rules and obey course officials' instructions at all times.
- The course covers varied terrain including off-road areas with irregular, unpaved surfaces. On sections of the course where you are asked to run on the sidewalk, you must not run on the street. Some sections of the course are narrow, making wheelchair participation impossible.
- Except at the start of the race, always run on the left side of the road.
- Times will be recorded using chips. Remember that your time will not be recorded if you are not wearing your chip. After competition, be sure to return your chip to race staff or to race headquarters. Note also that you will be charged cost for lost chips.
- Distance markers will be located every kilometer.
- Please line up beneath the appropriate starting block sign 30 minutes prior to the start of the race.
- The organizers will transport your personal belongings from the start area to the finish area, which is in a different location. Please bundle your belongings together, tag them with your number and pass them to the race staff responsible for your starting block.
- Organizers assume no responsibility for valuables or other personal property, which is the sole responsibility of its owner.
- Organizers will provide number cards at registration together with a commemorative gift for participation. You will receive notice of participation after submitting your application. Be sure to bring this notice with you to registration on race day.
- Don't forget to sign your oath.
- Parking is limited so please use public transportation.
- Please use the provided shuttle bus for transport between the start and the finish.
