Safety is our #1 priority on the race course. To help insure your safety please review the following rules:

In the event of an emergency

First-Aid stations are provided at each of the major exchanges. These first aid stations will be equipped to handle basic injuries like pulled muscles, blisters, etc. They will also have tools to treat minor heat exhaustion. If you have any major injuries or health concerns please call 911 immediately. Local EMS units will be on call and prepared to respond to emergencies. After calling 911 please contact Kent Phippen at 801-879-7790 or Jerrica Hall 801-458-8533.

Run Against Traffic

With a few exceptions we do not close roads during the race. We have selected roads with large shoulders or sidewalks, or that are very low traffic. These roads are safe to run on without any traffic control. Whether running on the shoulder or on a sidewalk runners are to run facing oncoming traffic (on the left side of the road) at all times unless the Race Bible or course markings specify other wise.

Night - Lights and Vests

During the night runners are to run with headlamps or flashlights (lights must be turned on), LED/Butt lights, and reflective vests. Runners are required to run with these items beginning one hour before sunset and ending one hour after sunrise. During these hours runners will not be able to start their legs without these items. If any runner is found running without these items the runner and their team will be immediately disqualified. We recommend you bring extra batteries.

Night - Shadowing

During the night we allow support vehicles to shadow their runners. Shadowing means that a van drives ahead of the runner until the runner is almost out of view. The van then finds a safe place to park and waits for the runner to pass. The van then watches the runner until he or she is almost out of view again. The van then repeats the process. This way the runner is never out of eyesight of their team. There are many benefits to shadowing your runners. First, it keeps the runner protected. Second, it keeps the runner from getting lost. And third, it keeps the team in the van from falling asleep. Vans are not allowed to follow behind runners at the runner's pace.

Night - Pacers

During night time runs (one hour before sunset to one hour after sunrise) runners are allowed to run with pacers. Pacers can either run or ride a bike along side the runner. The pacer must also wear a light and reflective vest.
