Pet Policy at SLTC Events:
The St. Louis Track Club is in agreement with the Road Runners Club of America that no dogs, except service animals, participate in running/walking events.
RRCA Guidelines for Dogs at/or in Events The Road Runners Club of America strongly recommends that group run leaders and event organizers adopt a “no dogs/pets allowed” policy for anyone participating in group training runs or organized events. Furthermore, event organizers should have a “no dogs/pets allowed” policy for volunteers, spectators, and participants in the start and finish areas of an event. Only service dogs should be allowed at an event with a participant or spectator, and an event organizer may ask if a dog is a service animal.
Thank you for abiding by these guidelines.
Weather and Cancellation Policy:
The safety of our participants is our highest priority. Races will be held rain, snow, or shine and will not be cancelled except for cases of severe weather or unsafe road/trail conditions. Less threatening conditions may cause alterations of the course or post event activities to ensure participant, volunteer, and community safety. We are a nonprofit organization and all net proceeds are used to further the St. Louis Track Club’s mission in the community. As such, no refunds or credits will be given in the case of cancellation due to weather.
