Safety and race procedures include mandatory visible race bibs, mandatory gear requirements for running in darkness, and a requirement to carry spare batteries for lighting. The forest is a working forest with potential harvesting equipment on or near the course, and it is publicly accessible on weekends so other users such as cyclists, horse riders, and dog walkers may be encountered.
