Participant Rules:
Davis Square Runners welcomes people from all communities, and our members can be assured that they have an advocate and can find camaraderie within this running group.
1. DSR admins and race participants will not make judgments about, question, or ridicule a person’s sex, gender, race, nationality, sexual orientation, religion, or age, and accepts people as they present themselves.
2. Please respect everyone’s personal space.
3. To ensure the safety of everyone, we don’t allow dogs or strollers in any of our races.
4. On race registration forms, any person may self-categorize into the gender group they identify as, without question or judgement.
5. Anyone engaging in disparaging or ridiculing comments, or aggressive behavior will be removed from the group. This applies to in-person group activities as well as over virtual/social media forums.
Disputes
If a dispute should arise about a participant’s indicated sex in relation to racing results, participants must take up that matter privately with the race directors or admins. Because of the sensitive nature of these issues, privacy of the affected parties is of utmost concern. Therefore if the disputer takes this matter into a public forum, such as on social media or even out loud at a race, they will be immediately disqualified and removed for unsporting-behavior.
Runner finishing
Runners can officially finish if they are the last person in the group still running, or make it to the 6 hour cut off point.
Runners can stop running whenever they want, just be sure to let Su know. Their mileages will be tallied and recorded on the official list.
Runner disqualification:
Any general childish attitudes toward anyone. If you can’t be an adult, please stay at home.
Cheating or suspected cheating.
Relieving oneself (urinating and defecating) at the start/finish area in a place other than in a toilet. We are in a neighborhood, and we need to be good neighbors.
Anyone engaging in disparaging or ridiculing comments, or aggressive behavior
