Signage & Litter
We take pride in keeping our trails clean! All of our temporary signage is removed within 24 hours after an event (normally quicker).
If you happen to spot a sign that we’ve missed, please let us know the location, and we’ll get it sorted right away.
We also ask all runners to respect the trails by not dropping litter — anyone caught doing so will be disqualified. As part of our cleanup, we do a full litter sweep to make sure we leave the trails even better than we found them.
