Unique to this Exchange:
Staffing:
Runner Monitor - 2 - 3; assist with the safe crossing of the runners across Hwy 1. R1 will instruct runner to go to R2 and to wait until R2 gives clearance to cross. R2 will hold runner until it is safe for runner to cross Hwy 1 and directs runner to cross to R3. Speed limit is 55 MPH so make sure it is clear in both directions.
Any runner who approaches this intersection on the side of the road with traffic (meaning they crossed on their own up the road) must be stopped and held for a 5 minute time penalty before they can continue. Note the bib number of any runner who does not stop and/or serve their penalty or follow your instructions to the Race Director.
Equipment at the Exchange will be:
A notebook with Exchange Instructions
1 Orange Safety Vest per volunteer
1 Orange Flag and/or Lighted Baton (for night exchanges) for each Parking Monitor for directing vans
Volunteers need to wait until the sweep truck arrives to have their equipment checked in.
Exchange Notes:
You will need to go to Exchange 6 to pick up your equipment and if you need to use facilities - it is less than a half mile from this location.
There will be a Colorado State Patrolman with their cruiser to assist. Make a note of the bib number of any runner on the Rule Violation Form inside the exchange notebook who does wait and follow your instructions and notify the Race Director immediately. They should NOT run along the right shoulder to cross when they feel like it. They should cross Hwy 1 in a straight line rather than diagonally. Instruct all runners that if they do not follow your instructions, their team will be disqualified.
