Everyone that has registered to run with the herd must have signed their waiver prior to participating in the virtual event.

Can I bring my dog?
Your best friend can enjoy training with you but there is a strict NO PETS policy due to the stringent quarantine requirements of the zoo.
Can I use my ipod, mp3 player, mobile phone?
We very strongly discourage the use of headphones, headsets, iPods, mp3 players and other types of personal audio devices. If earpieces are in place, traffic may not be clearly heard. This presents a risk to personal safety. If you use your mobile phone GPS to track your race, we request that earpieces not be used.
I’m feeling a little off. Should I participate?
Safety is paramount. Make sure you are fit and healthy on the day and that you can complete your chosen event. If you are unwell, please don’t risk it, it's probably best you do not compete.
