Race Rules and Policies

1) Do not litter, vandalize or otherwise disturb the area, people or property around you. If you get caught doing anything of the sort you will be immediately disqualified from the race, no exceptions and no refunds.

2) Strollers are allowed on course as well as the participation of minors (see minor waiver form). Any child who is strolled is allowed to participate in the event free of charge. Any minor who wants to run or participate in any of the races must have their parent/guardian sign the waiver in order to participate. Again, see minor waiver form for more details.

3) Respect all exhibitions of Native traditional culture and treat them with respect and dignity. Always ask questions if unsure about anything.

4) Dogs and or any other pets are not allowed.

5) In the interest of fairness and integrity, no mid-race drops to a lower “distance” or “time” are allowed. If you are registered for the 24hr race and decide at hour 11 that you want to drop down to the 12hr, you will not be required to keep running but you will be officially recorded as a 24hr race participant and not a 12hr participant. This is to make sure that runners know exactly who they are running against at the start of the day and that this doesn’t change without them knowing. No mid-race upgrades are allowed for similar reasons. The exception to this is if you reach 82 miles in the 24h race by 24hrs and wish to finish 100 miles in which case you will be allowed to continue to reach 100 miles within the guidelines of the 100 mile cutoff of 30hrs. The result however, may be recorded as unofficial if upgrading you would otherwise change the podium standings of the race. Also, if the 100 mile race ends up having only one finisher as a result of such mid-race upgrading, your result will be considered unofficial as the spirit of a race requires more than one person. The purpose of allowing this upgrade mid race is to allow back of the pack runners the chance to finish 100 miles, and not for seasoned runners to secure an easy win. You are allowed to change your race up until the date of the official online registration close. Send in an email if you wish to do this redroadracinginfo@gmail.com.

6) Race day sign-ups will be allowed, however the results will be marked as unofficial in the spirit of rule #5.

7) No partial laps. This means that only 2 mile laps will be counted and in the event of time running out, your most recently completed loop will be used to count your total mileage.

8) Race bibs should be visibly worn on front of person and, if necessary, verbally communicated to race officials upon coming into checkpoints.

9) Race food is meant for registered runners only. There will be food available for purchase for guests and crew. Please support the local vendors/community.

10) If you have any constructive feedback or criticism of the event, please let us know directly and while you are free to express yourself via any medium, please remember we are a small organization of people working for the benefit of Native American people in Southern California. Don’t be a jerk and leave an angry review on your social media without first coming to us to express your concerns. We are reasonable people and will gladly work with you to ensure the improvement of our collective efforts.

11) This is a NO ALCOHOL and NO DRUG event. What we are trying to do with this event is foster a positive environment for Cahuilla families to be a part of for years to come. Please respect this and do not make this a festival/party atmosphere with drug and alcohol use. Thank you for your understanding.
