Are IPODs allowed?
There are no “IPOD police”, but it is preferred that one earbud be left out so you can hear: 1) direction calls from volunteers and 2) vehicles, bikes, and other runners on the course. Safety of ALL participants is our major concern and we ask for your assistance with this by keeping one earbud out.
