Age Requirements
While we do not have any official age restrictions in our events many races do not permit runners under 16 years of age to participate in the full marathon. We require a parent or guardian signature for runners under the age of 18 in all our events. If you register online ticking the "Yes" box to the waiver has satisfied us that a parent or guardian has approved the registrant's choice of distance. If you register manually there is a line included for a parent or guardian signature if the applicant is under the age of 18.
Items Not Permitted
The following items are not permitted in the SudburyRocks!!! Race-Run-Walk: pets, animals, skateboards, bicycles, roller blades, motorized chairs or any other types of vehicles (other than official Race vehicles).
Note 1: We do allow baby joggers/strollers but request those entrants please start towards the rear of your event to allow safe space for walkers and runners.
Note 2: We will attempt to allow non motorized wheelchair participants only in our 5km race. For safety reasons we CANNOT accommodate wheelchair athletes who wish to race. Those wishing to participate must start toward the rear to allow safe space for runners and walkers and then stay safely within the running pack as they proceed through the course. Please contact the race organizers if you wish to enter the run as a wheelchair participant. The organizers will go over all logistical details with you. There is no specific category for wheelchair participants.
Headphones are discouraged as they impair full awareness of surroundings and reduce the ability to hear instructions on course. If you do wear headphones you are using them at your own risk. Please keep the volume at a level that allows full awareness of your surroundings.

Course Measurement and Certification
Course Certification is a process by which a course is measured according to international standards and the measurement data is reviewed by a recognized certifier. Once the data is verified and accepted, a certificate with a course ID number is sent to the measurer, who then forwards a copy to the race director.
