[Bold] –emphasize to colon
Race strategy—length of individual running segments: teams retain the flexibility to determine race strategy and to modify their plan during the race.  However, at no time will any one “leg” be allowed that is less than one full mile in length.

ALL KEYS100 RUNNERS
[Paragraph] -bold
In all cases where the race route directs runners onto the road shoulder, runners MUST run on the OCEAN side of Overseas Highway FACING TRAFFIC.  There are no exceptions to this rule.  Following someone who violates this rule is no excuse.  This is considered a major violation and will be enforced accordingly.

RULES ENFORCEMENT & PENALTIES
[Paragraph]-Bold
Violations of any race rules will result in a 10-minute penalty for each infraction.  Depending upon the severity of the violation and other factors, including but not limited to flagrancy of the violation and safety considerations, violators may be disqualified from the race at any time at the discretion of the Race Director.  Race marshals will be monitoring the course throughout the race to ensure compliance.  They will have the authority to impose time penalties on the spot.  Race rules will be VERY strictly enforced.

Note to Runners:
Please check here from time to time for timely updates and important reminders.

Aid stations for individual races: Each aid station will offer ice, water, Heed, Perpetuem, soft drinks, “runner food”, peanut butter sandwiches, bananas and other items.  Endurolytes electrolyte replacement capsules will also be available at each station, as will hand sanitizer and basic first aid kits.  Volunteers will be able to direct you to the closest bathrooms.

Drop bags: Runners may access personal drop bags at the Boca Raton aid station--location TBD--and 100 km runners may also leave bags at the turn-around/aid station in Ocean Ridge.  These will be the only two drop-bag sites.  Bags will be collected on Friday evening at the pre-race meeting in Fort Lauderdale and transported for you to these locations.  (For 50 km runners, bags will be collected at Ocean Inlet Park at the race start and be delivered to the Boca Raton site.)  “Used” bags will be transported to the finish line at approximately 3:00pm, 6:00pm and 9:00pm to be retrieved by the runner there.  Drop bags MUST have the runner’s name AND bib number written clearly on the outside.

No individual support crew: Runners in the 100k and 50k races may NOT have support crew on the course during the race.  Friends and family may meet runners at any aid station and provide support there, but not at any other spot along the route.  The exception is that pacers are allowed after 6:00pm at the runner’s option.
