Participant Rules/Policies
Course Rules
The Woodstock 5K is open to runners and walkers of all abilities. There is no age minimum. Minors must have a parent or legal guardian register for them online. Earbuds are strongly discouraged. The roads are closed, but you need to be aware of your surroundings. Bicycles, in-line skates, and other non-official wheeled vehicles and pets (including pets in strollers) are prohibited on the course! Service animals must have provided documents before the race for consideration. Our insurance will not cover pets on the course. However, we will allow strollers with infants as long as you start at the back of the race pack, and so long as the infant is not a participant. Please be courteous of all runners and allow others to pass. Your time does not start until you cross over the starting line. A timing chip is on the back of your race bib. You MUST wear your own race bib. If you want to swap, you must transfer your entry through RunSignup. You have two hours to complete the course. We start to finalize timing at 9:30am. Overall and Masters awards are at 10:00am in the AHS Auditorium to the left of the vendor trucks. Age group awards will be at a table beside the timer print out table.
