If there are any inconveniences during participation, we kindly ask for the understanding of residents and participants. Runners will not be allowed to continue after the Cut-Off time at each checkpoint under any circumstances. This is to ensure that roads can be reopened to local residents in accordance with regulations. It also helps ensure the safety of security personnel, staff, and volunteers, preventing them from working extended hours in hot weather conditions. Aid stations (water and medical) will also be closed once traffic is reopened.
