Race Rules & Policies
In keeping with the A-10’s tradition of awarding a Finisher’s Premium, NO premiums will be distributed at the packet pickup/expo or will be given to any registrants who do not finish the race. You must finish the race and be present to receive the premium. The premium will not be mailed. No exceptions!
NO headphones or earbuds. No wheels (roller blades, bikes, strollers, etc.). No dogs (or cats!). All participants must be at least 12 years old as of the date of the race to enter the race.
All decisions of the race directors are final.
Refunds
There are no refunds for any reason, and no deferrals or transfers will be permitted outside the time periods stated. No exceptions.
UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFERRING OF BIBS, BIB SWAPPING, and BANDITS (non registered runners) are NOT permitted. Please do not run on someone else's bib. It causes timing and award issues, and we do not know who is on the course should a medical emergency arise. Those caught unofficially transferring bibs, bib swapping, or running as a bandit risk future disqualification from the Annapolis 10 Mile Run.
Time Limit
All participants must maintain at least a 15-minute per mile pace and complete the race by 9:30 am. Participants unable to make the 8-mile cut-off time (approximately 9:00 am) will be advised they are no longer official participants and will be required to move to the sidewalk and obey all pedestrian traffic rules. Those individuals who continue despite missing the cut-off time will cease to be official participants and will not receive an official finisher time's or finisher's premium. THE COURSE WILL OPEN TO VEHICULAR TRAFFIC AT 9:30 am.
Timing
The race will be electronically timed with a timing chip on the back of your bib. Do not bend or fold your bib number. The bib does not have to be returned. Timing bibs must be worn as directed to be officially scored, and bib numbers must be worn on the torso with the bib number visible.
