Course Cautions:
1. The course is open to vehicular traffic on the beach.  You may use headphones, but be aware of your surroundings.  There will be plenty of room for both runners and vehicles, but there won’t be much traffic at the time of the race.

2.  As with running on any beach, tides will cause ripples or irregularities on the running surface.  Sand is hard packed and very safe.

Weather:
Prevailing sea breeze usually gives a headwind going out and a tailwind on return to the finish.

Course Measurement:
The course is accurately measured by GPS. 

Time Limit:
The race starts at 8 AM and closes at 10 AM.
