Those carrying/wearing these devices will be given the option to surrender their music device to a designated race official prior to entering the starting line chutes.

Participants that choose not to surrender their device will be disqualified from the race, their finishing time will not appear in the official race results, and they may be banned from participating in future TCM, Inc. events.

You will receive an Official Participant Guide via U.S. Mail in September with important race information and your confirmation ticket required for packet pick-up.

In order to ensure safety, a Course Closing Bus follows the race route to pick-up participants who are unable to maintain this pace on a consistent basis.
