GUIDELINES
Races must follow RUN MAINE guidelines below to become a sanctioned and recommended event, and to enjoy the benefits. The guidelines that follow were written to enhance the safety and enjoyment of road racing events. Any person or group that is contemplating staging a road race must realize the potential for personal injury and damage associated with racing on the roads. A club or fun run is not fun if human tragedy is involved. What follow are safety considerations for each segment involved in the presentation and running of a road race. However, the guidelines are meant to be used as an aid in making the race safer and are not intended as a substitute for the use of common sense under existing circumstances. Those persons using these guidelines must understand that they are ultimately responsible for the conduct of a safe event. RUN MAINE assumes no responsibility for injuries or damages to persons or property as a result of information contained in these guidelines. Areas covered in the RUN MAINE guidelines: A. Preparation and Planning
