Race Rules

Race rules are pretty simple. Most of you know the hashtag, #dbad. That's it. For those of you wanting more detail, just wait for the race briefing. Be nice to everyone. We will not tolerate any action, behavior or words that are intolerant of others. Period.

Runner Safety

Bella Vista Police Department will be assisting with traffic control during the event. However, it is the responsibility of each and every runner to safely cross all roads. Vehicles have the right of way at all trail crossings. Exercise caution at all road crossings. If you drop out of the race for any reason you must notify us as soon as possible so we know you are not lost out in the woods.

Runner Etiquette

Those of you that know us know the deal. For those of you that are new to Back 40, we have just one rule and we will share that with you at the pre race meeting. Just know this... everyone is welcome at our race. "Y'all" means "all". We will not tolerate inappropriate or aggressive speech or behavior towards another runner, a volunteer or fellow trail user. Period. There is room for all of us on the trails and at the end of the day, all of us are out there to have a good time. The trails will remain open to the public and we ask that you be a good steward while on course.

Misc. Race Day Info

Photographers will be out on course and once all the editing is done the link will be posted on the Facebook page and the website. The photos will be available to you free of charge.

Race results will be available on Race Wizard as usual.

Race proceeds will once again be donated to the City of Bella Vista for a trail project.
