The Reach the Beach Relay should be a fun and exciting adventure for you and your team. However, it is a race and, as such, requires you to follow some rules and regulations. Some of these have been created in the interest of “fair play”. Others have been created to pass on the requirements of the Towns and communities we pass through while others are here for your collective safety. Our ability to continue with this event is dependent upon the local towns and communities that we pass through. Their support is vital to our future. Please ensure that all of your teammates are aware of all rules in advance of the race.

Unless otherwise noted below or in the “Summary Table of Penalties” located in the Race Handbook, a time penalty of 1 hour will be assessed for each infraction of the rules and regulations listed herein. Multiple violations may result in the disqualification of your team or worse – a ban from participating in future editions of this event. We will immediately disqualify any team that acts in a belligerent manner to any of our staff, volunteers, or Town residents. residents.

Please refer to the Official Race Handbook for more specific explanations for these penalties. The Handbook will always take precedence.
