Beat the Heat Specific Race Policies

Headphone Use
The use of personal music devices is strongly discouraged at this race. To enjoy all that our race has to offer and for the safety of all participants, Twin City Track Club encourages a headphone-free environment during the running of Beat the Heat events.
We believe your race experience and those around you will be greatly enhanced by leaving the headphones at home or in the car. Running headphone-free allows opportunities to develop camaraderie with your fellow runners and to enjoy everything the race has to offer. Plus, volunteers and spectators will be on course cheering you on and providing directions to help get you to the finish line.
Runner safety has always been, and will continue to be, a top priority for our event. Please be mindful of the other participants and respect the race personnel to ensure a safe and enjoyable race for everyone.


Baby Jogger and/or Strollers
Strollers or baby joggers or similar devices may start in a position where they do not impede faster runners or walkers. Participants planning to push a child in a stroller are required to declare this at the time of registration and/or packet pickup and add the child’s name to the race waiver coverage, accepting responsibility for injury up to the death of the child.  Click here for more information and to download the stroller waiver.

Roller Skates and Bicycles
Roller skates and bicycles are strictly prohibited for race and/or fun run participants.

Dogs
No dogs or pets are allowed during the race or in the start/finish line area of the race.
