Aid
None. Bring your own fuel, water, gear, etc.
Awards
None. There are a few street crossings and this course is not closed to traffic, so there is no incentive to disobey traffic laws and get yourself hurt just to win a ribbon.
Rules
1. Experienced runners only, please. There will be no aid or medical support. And conditions will likely be harsh...which is kinda the reason we're doing this!
2. Bring your own supplies/water/drop bags. Parking is available at the start area, so you'll have easy access to your car at the beginning of each loop.
3. Obey all traffic/pedestrian laws. The route is on paved city jogging paths, but there will be a several street crossings and the course is NOT closed to traffic. Use extreme caution when crossing streets. There will be no volunteers holding up traffic for us. If there's a crosswalk at street crossing, please use it.
4. Dogs allowed. Pullman has a leash law.
5. Please be considerate of other participants and the community.
Post-race
Pizza and beer. Palouse Falls Brewing Company is located across the street from the start/finish line. They open at noon. Yes, this is actually the real reason we're doing this. Might even be worth a mid-race pint...just sayin'.
