⚠️ Safety Reminder

In years past, we have had a problem with folks crossing into the traffic lane to get around slower runners. This is a safety hazard and endangers the event itself. In short, if we don't cut it out, we'll lose the ability to hold the event at Presque Isle at all. If we don't fix it, we won't have it.

• Importance of Safety: Please maintain safety during the race.
• Corrals Information: Check out the "Corrals" page for more information.
