| Are roller skates, inline skates, bikes, strollers or pets of any kind allowed to participate in the events? | No. If you are caught on the course with any of these, you will be directed off the course. When you sign the waiver, you are committing to the non-use of these items. |
| Are headphones of any kind allowed in the events? | The ORRRC strongly discourages the use of headphones. We ask that you not listen to music so that you may safely hear instructions from volunteers, park rangers and police; you are able to enjoy the sounds of the events and the runners around you. |
| I am training for another marathon and would like to run farther than 13.1 but not as far as 26.2. Can I run additional miles on the course? | Yes. You are welcome to add additional miles to your race day. Please cross the finish line so your time is recorded. Please continue to wear your bib number so aid station volunteers know to provide fluid/aid should you need it. |
| Running Buddies | Training partners and running buddies not registered for the race may run with you as this is not a closed course. We ask that they move away from the finish line shoot and finish line to avoid confusion for the finish line volunteers. |
| Walkers and Slower Participants | The ORRRC welcomes walkers in the half marathon only. Slower participants in all races may start early as long as the race director is notified of the start time. Please tell us your start time at Packet Pickup. Since you may be starting before the chip system is in place, please alert the finish line crew that you are an early starter when you cross the finish line so that your time can be adjusted accordingly. |
