RACE COURSE SAFETY Safety is the first and foremost priority. It is important that all runners and drivers realize that the race course occasionally crosses traffic and follows roadways. Please error on the side of caution, drive slowly, be alert, read the following safety tips and have a great race!

RUNNER SAFETY Please read and understand all race rules and seek clarification as needed. Beware of vehicles, THE COURSE IS OPEN TO VEHICLE TRAFFIC. A significant portion of the race course crosses “live” roads. Obey all traffic and pedestrian laws, unless instructed differently by a police officer. Course Signage: Follow all M2M Relay signs and read the stage directions in this guide carefully. It is your job to know the running route — the signs are only there to assist you. We recommend carrying water and a cell phone while running. RUN AGAINST TRAFFIC: Runners must run against traffic if running on city or county roads unless instructed otherwise. VISIBILITY GEAR: All teams are REQUIRED to have at least 2 reflective safety vests, 2 head lamps or flashlights and 2 blinking LED taillights. One of each MUST be worn by all runners beginning a new stage during Official Nighttime Hours, before 7:00 am and after 7:30 pm. NO HEADPHONES: Runners may not use earphones or any other equipment that interferes with their hearing. Music devices with speakers below the head are allowed if it does not interfere with your hearing. YOU NEED TO HEAR APPROACHING VEHICLES AND OTHER TRAIL USERS. WATER & RESTROOMS: Runners are in charge of their own water on the course. There will not be water areas between Exchange Points. Teams should bring enough water to last the duration of the race. Water refills areas (hoses/faucets) are located at Exchange Points 4, 11 and 19. As a way to reduce race day waste, plastic cups will not be provided. Please bring your own reusable, refillable water bottles and team water jugs. Portable toilets are located at the start line, finish line, and every Exchange Point unless otherwise noted.

DIRECTIONAL ARROWS EXCHANGE POINT MARKERS

VEHICLE AND DRIVER SAFETY Beware of runners on the driving course. A significant portion of the race course crosses roads. Please refer to the Rules Concerning Vehicles section on page 8. TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL AND SAFE DRIVING: • Focus on driving! • Have your co-pilot read driving directions and give you instructions. • Know where you are going and look at the map before you start driving. • Do not arrive at Exchange Points significantly early. (Note: The driving directions are not always the most direct route. They were created to avoid crossing the runner path and to lower congestion at Exchange Points. Please follow the driving directions printed in this booklet.)

WATER, FOOD AND TEAM EMERGENCY GEAR It is your team’s responsibility to carry adequate team water, food, blankets, first aid supplies, cell phones, clothing layers and rain gear in your vehicle.

EMERGENCY INFORMATION IN CASE OF EMERGENCY, DIAL 911. ON-COURSE MEDICAL: Basic first aid kits are available at all Exchange Points. On-Course Non-Emergency Medical support will provide rolling ambulance coverage throughout the course. Notify the nearest volunteer or call the Event Command Center number below to request On Course NonEmergency Medical support. Dial 911 in an emergency. EVENT COMMAND CENTER: (402) 890-2123 (mobile)

RACE COURSE SAFETY POLICE ASSISTANCE AND TRAFFIC LAWS Runners will be provided with police assistance at stages 1, 2, 3 and 4. Runners MUST obey all traffic laws unless instructed otherwise by a police officer. NOTE: If for some reason during the day your team is delayed either because of heavy traffic when crossing a street or because of a train — these situations are considered part of the course.

LIGHTNING RULE Lightning at the start of the race may result in a delayed start until the lightning clears. If you see lightning on the course after the race has started, get your runner off the running route and into your team vehicle. Follow these procedures: • Make a note of the time and the location where you exited the course. • If lightning clears within 30 minutes put your runner back onto the running route where they left and make a note of the time. • If lightning persists longer than 30 minutes, move ahead one Exchange Point. For every 30 minutes of lightning delay, please move ahead one Exchange Point. • Keep accurate track of where and when you left the course and where and when you returned to the course. • Resume running at own risk 30 min after last strike. • Turn this information into M2M Headquarters on your Team Time Card after you finish. We will then calculate your average pace and apply this pace to the segment of the course that you missed and will provide you with an official adjusted race time.

EVENT COMMAND CENTER: (402) 890-2123 (mobile) If your team decides to drop from the race for any reason including a medical concern, incident or emergency, please notify the Event Command Center.

RACE RULES GENERAL RULES 1. TEAM MATRIX: Teams shall consist of six, seven or eight runners. Teams must run in a fixed order and each runner shall complete multiple legs of the Relay, called Stages. Each Stage will be approximately 3 to 5 miles. Teams must carry a “baton,” passing it from runner to runner at each Exchange Point. There will be 19 Stages and, therefore, 19 Exchange Points and a Team Finish (the starting line is Exchange Point 1). 2. MINIMUM TEAM SPEED: Teams arriving at the finish line after 8:45 pm will not receive a finish time.

RULES CONCERNING VEHICLES Please use your best judgment when driving, and please watch for runners and other pedestrians. 1. VEHICLES AND RUNNERS: Vehicles may not stop to interact or support runners on the course unless an injury has occurred or a runner has taken a wrong turn. Vehicles must always take the Driver’s Path. Please remember, runners are in charge of their own water and nutrition while running between Exchange Points and may not be supported. 2. NUMBER OF VEHICLES AND TYPES ALLOWED: Team vehicles must be less than seven feet in width and less than 21 feet in length. Large vans, minivans and SUV’s are allowed. No RVs, mini-buses, trailers or limos are allowed. All vehicle passengers must have access to a safety belt. Team’s violating this rule will be immediately disqualified. 3. LOCATION OF ID TAG: Registered team vehicles must display an official identification tag in the front and rear window. The tag must be visible to race officials at the Exchange Points. Only team vehicles displaying the official tag will be allowed to park at the Exchange Points. 4. DRIVING DIRECTIONS: Team vehicles MUST follow the driving directions provided in the Race Day Guide. Directions have been designed to eliminate vehicle contact with runners and lowering congestion at Exchange Points. If a vehicle gets lost or takes a wrong turn and does not reach the next Exchange Point in time, the time is lost and will not be awarded back. 5. TRAFFIC LAWS: Team vehicles MUST obey all speed limits, traffic signs, other traffic laws and instructions from race officials. 6. RUNNER SAFETY: Team vehicles must drive at a normal rate of speed. Vehicles may not block or interfere with other vehicles, and must yield the right of way to runners at all times. 7. PARKING: At the Exchange Points, team vehicles must park in designated areas only. Vehicles may not stop within the Exchange Point area, even to discharge runners, until parked in the designated area.

THIS SECTION IS A SUMMARY OF IMPORTANT RACE RULES. ALL TEAMS ARE TO DOWNLOAD A COPY OF THE COMPLETE RACE RULES FOR THEIR TEAM VEHICLE FROM M2MRELAY.COM. 8

RULES CONCERNING RUNNERS 1. RUNNING ORDER: Team members will run in a fixed order. For example, on a seven-person team, Runner 1 will complete Stages 1, 8 and 15; Runner 2 will complete stages 2, 9 and 16; and so on. On a sixperson team, Runner 1 will complete Stages 1, 7, and 13 Runner 2 will complete Stages 2, 8, and 14; and so on. See the complete runner matrices on page 12. 2. OFFICIAL BIBS: Runners must wear their official race bib numbers corresponding to their position on the team. The first runner must wear a number ending in “1”, the second runner must wear a number ending in “2” and so on. Race numbers must be visible from the front. 3. BATON EXCHANGE: The “baton” must be passed from one runner to the next within the defined Exchange Zone at each Exchange Point. Runners must carry the “baton” so that it is visible to race officials while approaching and leaving the Exchange Zone. Batons will be supplied at the Start Line to the first runner and will also serve as the timing chip. 4. WRONG TURN: Runners who take a wrong turn must return to the course where they left it and continue on the correct route. Runners may use the team vehicle or other transportation to return to the correct route, provided they complete the entire correct route unaided. 5. TRAFFIC LAWS: Unless a police officer instructs you differently, you need to obey all pedestrian traffic laws.

RULES CONCERNING ALL PARTICIPANTS 1. NO LITTERING: Participants must leave the course litter-free. Teams are encouraged to use the trash bags given in the race packets to leave the course better than we found it. Team Trash dumpsters will be located at Exchange Point 10. Please plan ahead and thank you for keeping team trash contained to your vehicle until these locations. 2. NO PUBLIC URINATION: Participants should only use the bathroom facilities provided at each Exchange Point. No public urination or other public relief is allowed. Please respect private property. 3. NO CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL: Consumption of alcohol is not allowed at any time while participating in the race. Even if you have completed your last Stage, you are still participating in the race until your team has crossed the finish line. Do not start the party early. Alcohol may be consumed responsibly at the finish line party when city ordinances and permits allow. Please no outside alcoholic beverages at the finish line party. There is zero tolerance on any of these rules. Violation of any of these rules will result in an automatic team disqualification and you will be asked to leave the course.
