Safety tips for all Superheros:
  - Be aware of your surroundings (especially roots, rocks, dirt, leaves, and holes).
  - If people are running behind you, let them know of any potential dangers ahead.
  - Running too close to someone who trips and falls may cause you to also trip and fall.
  - If you are passing someone, be verbal! "On your left" and only pass when it is safe for you and the other racer.
  - If someone is injured, alert a trail marshal immediately and they will contact the medical staff.

Any advice?
Yes, we have plenty! The most important advice we can give you for this race, however, is "have fun!"
- Make sure you are hydrated, adequately fueled, and warmed up before the race. 
- If you are competing with a team, make t-shirts, get together for a chant or a huddle to get pumped up! 
- Dress up as a Superhero!
- Read the safety tips.
