Equipment Malfunction During a competition event, if a challenge course equipment failure occurs the athlete will defer to the Course Official for instruc- tions. The Chief Course Official will make an on-site determination on how to remedy the situation in a fair and equitable manner. Weather Delays When lightning and/or severe weather is approaching the area, we will delay play until it’s safe to return. If play is delayed, we will do our best to get all scheduled runs in. However sometimes it may not be possible. In these rare circumstances we will complete our Individual Category races first, followed by Tandems and then Relays. DAILY EVENT SCHEDULE To create a consistent experience for all, we offer the same daily race schedule for each event type. Always defer to the published schedule on the events registration page in the event a modification has been made.

Opening Ceremony: at times these ceremonies may vary by event, however our goal is to conduct the Opening Ceremony at our Season Opener and Regional Events on Friday mornings when we have the most athletes present. At our U.S. National event on Saturday morning, and our World Challenge event on Friday morning. Via a roll call format, each athlete, state or country is introduced onto the course by our announcer. Athletes are encouraged to bring their city, state or nations flag to wave while walking onto the course. AWARD PROGRAM Honoring our athletes’ hard work and commitment to our sport is important to us. The following are our awards and recognition protocols.
• At all events, we recognize the top three (3) place finishers in each division and subcategory with a medal and custom certificate. At our Season Opener and Regional events our Our Overall Male and Female Individual Category winners receive a special trophy from RWC®, and our Top 10 Overall Male and Females (the fastest times regardless of age) receive a special certificate. • At our Regional Classic events, we recognize the top three (3) place finishers in two (2) awards classes: “Regional Event Honors(s)” and “Overall Event Honors”. o Regional Event Honors(s): recognizing athletes who work/reside within the same region of the region designated event. All members of a Tandem or Relay team must be from the same region to be rec- ognized with region specific honors. o Overall Event Honors(s): recognizing any athlete, regardless of where they live, participating in the event. • It is possible for a athlete to receive both Region and Overall Event honors at their designated regional classic event. • At the U.S. National and World events all competitors receive a special certif- icate that shows where they ranked overall in the Individual Category at the event (based on their fastest run time at the event and not by age group).
