This is the same shirt as at all other Treadin’ Trodden Trails races; one shirt per runner PER SEASON please. Taking multiple shirts minimizes monies we are able to donate to trail friendly causes. SPECIAL DIRTY DOUBLE FINISHER SHIRT: An even more special edition finisher's tech shirt will be presented to PREREGISTERED marathon finishers ONLY. This is sure to be a collector's item and will likely compel many runners to select the full marathon distance. Only runners who preregister will receive a shirt; other marathon runners can receive a Treadin' Trodden Trails series shirt if they have not already received one at another TTT event AWARDS AND REWARDS: Awards will vary from race to race, but each race offers the eminent satisfaction of completing a challenging run, testing oneself against the elements and participating in a delightful romp among the woods, waters and fields of East Tennessee. SPECIAL SERIES AWARDS: Points will be awarded for overall finish (and volunteerism) at each of the TTT Series races. Top point earners at the end of the series (five each male / female and < 40 / 40+) will receive TTT Series awards. Overall top male and female and top male and female masters qualify for free entry to the entire 2018 Treadin' Trodden Trails racing season. In order to qualify for a series award,an individual must be a current KTC member and volunteer at a minimum of three Treadin’ Trodden Trails events. Point totals accrue in a maximum of eight series events. RESULTS: Results will be available on the Knoxville Track Club website: www.ktc.org COURSE ETIQUETTE: We reserve the right to disqualify anyone who exhibits unsportsmanlike conduct or is abusive to volunteers. Due to insurance regulations, no headsets, earphones, bicycles, baby strollers, roller blades or pets on the course. SAFETY: Aid and water stations will be provided, but in an effort to be greener, we require all runners to carry their own water; i.e., no cups at aid stations. If you don't own a handheld, consider purchasing one. Otherwise a basic water bottle will be provided and handheld bottleholders will be available for purchase inexpensively. We also strongly recommend that anyone sensitive to insect stings or bites carry their own medication. Finally, we urge that everyone do some pre-race training offroad, as there is no substitute for experience. We want you to have a good time.
