WEATHER & CANCELLATION POLICY

• Severe weather may delay, alter, or cancel the race.
• No refunds due to weather, “Acts of God,” or force majeure.
• Safety is the top priority—race officials will follow guidance from city and medical personnel.
• Expenses are non-refundable due to early planning and production.

EVENT ALERT SYSTEM
A color-coded alert system will communicate the status of course conditions to participants leading up to and on race day.  Color-coded signs will be placed at each aid station on the course. The levels range from low to extreme based on several factors, including weather conditions.  All participants are advised to familiarize themselves with the event alert system prior to race day.  Please remain alert for directions from race officials/course volunteers and take precautions to properly prepare for a variety of weather conditions on race day.

RULES OF COMPETITION
The most important thing is to have fun and enjoy your race, but we do have some basic rules that will ensure that things run smoothly.

• Race officials reserve the right to remove an athlete from the course.  If, in their best judgment, it is possible that serious or fatal injury could result from continued participation.
• Non-registered individuals pacing is prohibited and may result in disqualification. 
• Bandits/nonregistered individuals are prohibited and will be removed from the course.
• No pets (dogs), roller blades, skateboards, bikes, etc. are allowed in any of the races.
• Race numbers must be worn on the front outermost layer of clothing or costume and must be visible at all times.
• Transferring a race number to someone else is not allowed. While the practice of giving your race number to someone else may seem harmless, it can result in serious consequences for all individuals involved. It’s an issue of false identity and a liability issue.

Why?

• Your race number is attached to your identity. If an emergency occurs that requires medical attention or a race official must identify an athlete, we need to have the correct information.
• Awards could also be impacted.
• If race organizers identify an individual who has given their race number to another person, it will result in disqualification and a minimum two-year ban for all individuals for any race conducted by the Little Rock Marathon.

AWARDS

• Half Marathon – Overall Male & Female (top 3)
• 5K – Overall Male & Female (top 3)
• There are no age group awards
