See the full schedule and details below.<\/p>\n\t\t\t Where do I register?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t Registration is open, you can\u00a0register here<\/a>\u00a0or on\u00a0Active.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u00a0Register Today<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t What is the schedule?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t The schedule will be as follows:<\/p>\n *Note that final start times may\u00a0vary on race day.<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t What is included in race entry?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t Check-in to pick up runner bibs will be on race day,\u00a0Saturday, April 10th, 2021,<\/strong>\u00a0starting at\u00a06:00 AM<\/strong>\u00a0at the Valencia Heritage Park.<\/p>\n \u00a0View Directions & Parking Page<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t Where should I park?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t Parking space within Valencia Heritage Park is limited, there\u00a0is plenty of parking available nearby, see the Directions & Parking<\/a> page for\u00a0parking zones<\/a>\u00a0that have been designated for the event. We recommend to buddy up and carpool to the race to help ensure there is enough parking.<\/p>\n \u00a0View Directions Page<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t Am I required to sign a waiver?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t Yes. In order to receive your race bib to participate in the race, you will need to have a signed event waiver and show your ID. You may download and print the waiver ahead of time and bring it with you to help expedite your check-in.<\/p>\n \u00a0Download 2021 Waiver<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t Is there a cut-off time?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t Yes. The cutoff times are as follows:<\/p>\n Below you will find a list of recommended items for running the race.<\/p>\n Yes. There is a minimum age requirement to participate depending on the distance. Younger runners that wish to run the race must be accompanied by an adult and must request approval from the Race Director. Please contact<\/a> the Race Director for more information.<\/p>\n *Children can be accompanied and supported by a parent or adult for the Kids Dash. Children younger than 3 can participate if a parent is running with a stroller. Strollers do not qualify for placement trophy.<\/p>\n\t\t\t How do artists participate?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t We are currently seeking artists of all types to join us to participate and perform their art during the annual Arts Run. This is a great way to perform at a large community event and gain exposure to your art and brand. The Artists Registration<\/a> page provides complete details on benefits and how to participate and includes a form to reserve<\/a> an artist space.<\/p>\n\t\t\t I’m a slow runner or walker, can I do this race?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t Absolutely, we encourage everyone to participate! You can accomplish anything you want as long as you set your mind to do it. The race is planned for participants of all abilities\u2014including walkers. If you are new to running or this is your first race we suggest doing\u00a0the 5K distance.<\/p>\n The Arts Run course takes place on the Santa Clarita pathways and paseos, these are all paved paths and the overall course is very flat making it a very easy and fast run.<\/p>\n\t\t\t Will the course be marked?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t Yes. The course will be clearly marked using directional signs. Please review the\u00a0course page<\/a>\u00a0to better know the course you are running.<\/p>\n\t\t\t Will there be a gear bag drop?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t Yes. There will be a gear drop available at the start\/finish line so you can quickly access your bag after finishing the race. The event is not responsible for lost or stolen items.<\/p>\n\t\t\t Will there be aid-stations on the course?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t Yes. There will be stations with water, gel packs, with a few key stations providing snacks\u00a0and basic first aid if needed. At the finish line, there will be water and food! For the longer runs recommend you carry a water bottle. Each aid station will include fresh water to refill your supply.<\/p>\n One of the greatest dangers for runners is completing the race in a dehydrated state. We encourage runners to plan on drinking plenty of water the day before and being hydrated throughout the event.<\/p>\n\t\t\t Will there be bathrooms at the race?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t Yes. There will be portable toilets at the race by the start\/finish line area. There are no toilets on the course.<\/p>\n\t\t\t Can I wear headphones?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t For your safety and the safety of all participants, we do not recommend wearing headphones while running a race, plus you don’t want to miss out on all the live music that will be played at the race festival and on the course. However, if you do, we ask that you keep the volume down at a safe level so you can hear other runners and instructions from event personnel. The important thing is paying attention to everyone\u2019s safety and maintaining basic race etiquette with other runners.<\/p>\n If you love to wear headphones while running then we can recommend using bone-conducting headphones that do not cover your ears, these allow you to fully hear your surroundings while also listening to your favorite music or audio. To learn more take a look at\u00a0Aftershokz Trek Titanium<\/a> headphones.<\/p>\n\t\t\t Can my dog run with me?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t No. The event insurance policy does not allow dogs. We love dogs, but there are those who may not be comfortable around them and there are also dogs that are uncomfortable around hundreds of other people. We have no doubt that your dog is well behaved, but we simply have no way to be sure about all the other dogs and thus we have a \u201cno dogs on course\u201d policy.<\/p>\n\t\t\t How is the race timed?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t The race will be chip timed for best accuracy using a MyLaps timing system with BibTag chips that are attached to your race bib.<\/p>\n To ensure your chip is tracked and timed correctly:<\/strong><\/p>\n Final\u00a0results\u00a0are posted online and include overall placement, distance category, gender, age, age group, top 3 in age group, and finish time.<\/p>\n\t\t\t Are wheelchairs or strollers allowed?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t Yes. As the course is paved it is accessible to wheelchairs and strollers. However, the start\/finish corral will be on grass at the park, so you will have to transition from grass to\u00a0the paved pathway when starting.\u00a0Unauthorized bicycles, skateboards, scooters, roller blades, or motorized vehicles are not permitted on the race course due to safety concerns.<\/p>\n\t\t\t What type of weather is expected?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t April usually brings some of the best Spring weather to run in Santa Clarita. The average high temperature is 74\u00ba with the average low at 41\u00ba. Plan for cool sunrise start with temperatures warming up throughout the morning. We recommend checking the weather forecast a week before the race so you can dress appropriately.<\/p>\n\t\t\t Will the race be canceled in the event of rain?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t No. Unless there is severe weather on the days before and on the race day, the Arts Run will be held whether it\u2019s sunny, raining or anything in between. The weather only adds to the adventure to make for an awesome race experience!<\/p>\n Yet, there are still potential risks that are beyond our control that could cause a race to be canceled. We hope that will never happen, however, we do have an\u00a0event cancellation policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t What local hotel or lodging options are available?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t If you are traveling from out of town there are many options available, the hotels listed below are within\u00a0walking distance to the start line. Also, check this\u00a0Google search<\/a>\u00a0or on\u00a0Airbnb<\/a>\u00a0for additional options.<\/p>\nHoliday Inn Express & Suites Santa Clarita<\/strong><\/a> Check this\u00a0Google search<\/a>\u00a0or on\u00a0Airbnb<\/a>\u00a0for additional options.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\u00a0Can I change my distance?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t Yes. Distance change requests are available, the cut off for all changes is 1-week before race date. Submit change request from the\u00a0contact<\/a>\u00a0page.<\/p>\n \u00a0Request Change<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t Can I transfer my entry?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t No. Entry fees are NON-REFUNDABLE and entries are NON-TRANSFERABLE. Sorry, no exceptions. Once we receive and accept your entry, you will not receive a refund if you cannot participate. You may not give or sell your number to anyone else. Submit a cancelation request from the\u00a0contact<\/a>\u00a0page.<\/p>\n \u00a0Request Cancellation<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t Is it okay if I run the race without registering?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t No, it is not. While the Santa Clarita pathways are open to the public and running at the same time as an event is totally fine. Those entering into the start\/finish area or intentionally jumping into the race just after the start, using the marked course, racing against other runners, etc. are essentially freeloading off of the race and the other runners, regardless of whether they take aid station supplies, medals or other race supplies.<\/p>\n Permits, insurance and race materials for the event are obtained with set numbers of participants planned and accounted for. Costs for events are also planned, taking into account those numbers and sharing the race costs among all entrants.<\/p>\n When people \u201chijack\u201d a race they jeopardize the race\u2019s ability to come back, create potential for problems for other runners trying to determine their place in the race and for support personnel to identify participants and (if necessary) provide emergency support. Like shoplifting, being a race bandit does not cost the person taking anything, but the cost ultimately goes to the people who follow the rules and pay to run the race.<\/p>\n\t\t\t What is a virtual runner and why would anyone do that?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t The virtual runner registration option is for runners who are physically unable to make it to a race but still wish to train for and achieve a running goal as part of the race or supporting the race fundraising. This includes persons who live far from race location and those with schedules that simply will not allow them to be present on race day.<\/p>\n Runners choose to run one of the race distances 10K or 5K. They run the distance where ever they are, a favorite trail, at the park, on a track, even on a treadmill. Simply run the distance on the same day as the race, track the time with a Garmin or app and send it to us. Runners receive race materials via mail after the race. This can be done alone or with a group of runners.<\/p>\n Running remotely will never be as good as running in person at the actual event, but for those with no other options, it offers a way to stay connected to their running community to help them commit to and celebrate their running achievements.<\/p>\n If a virtual runner is able to make it to the race they can request to upgrade their virtual entry to a regular participant entry.<\/p>\n *Note: Virtual Runners do not qualify for\u00a0prizes or placement trophy.<\/p>\n\t\t\t Where do I submit my virtual runner time?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t When you plan to run\/walk your virtual distance be sure to track your time with a Garmin or app such as Run Keeper. Then track your time and distance, once done, take a screen grab or photo showing your final time\/distance and email it to us so we can include it on the virtual runner results.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t The Arts Run is an insured and permitted event. Thank you to the\u00a0City of Santa Clarita for their support for permits, to the land developers and owners for their support, and to Star Financial via Road Runners Club of America for event insurance coverage.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t Please note that race information here represents what is planned for the Santa Clarita Arts Run.
