 Organized Run Policy
IMPORTANT: Organized Runs
will not be allowed in the Lakeshore Nature Preserve with the
exception of runs on the Howard Temin Path
(see map detail at right).
SPECIFIC GUIDELINES FOR ORGANIZED RUNS
IN THE LAKESHORE NATURE PRESERVE
1. Organizations that desire to use the Howard Temin Path for an organized run shall schedule it with Central Reservations.
2. The organizers shall not use paint or aerosol chalk on any surface or object to mark the course route. Non-oilbased stick chalk, flour or powdered lime are acceptable for marking the route on pavement or the gravel path. Small directional signs mounted on removable posts placed on turf are acceptable.
3. Organizer shall remove all signs (directional and personal athlete cheering signs) on the same day of the event.
4. Organizer shall pick up all litter generated by the event on the same day as the event (including small foil packets of Gel/Gu, etc.)
5. Sponsors shall be financially liable for any damage, repair or litter cleanups necessary after their run.
6. Rest/aid stops for longer events with many participants shall not be positioned on turf. They must be on hard surfaces only. Porta-potties are acceptable on turf if the turf is not damaged by the trucks that place or retrieve them.
7. All running/walking by the participants shall be on hard surface (paved area or graveled area/limestone screenings) — not on turf or beside the paved path. If large numbers of runners are expected at one time, measures should be taken by the organizers to keep them on established paths with barricades or cones, tape or other appropriate directional controls.
8. For events with large numbers of participants, obvious shortcuts over turf shall be barricaded or taped off to preclude "cattle paths."
9. Organizers should ensure that they coordinate with Athletics to ensure that the Porter boathouse detour gates on the path remain up for their event.
10. Sponsors shall coordinate with UW Police Department if the numbers of participants will preclude normal pedestrian or bicycle traffic.
