Reminder: NOTC Headphones Policy
The use of personal music devices is strongly discouraged at all club races. To enjoy all that our race has to offer and for the safety of all participants, the New Orleans Track Club encourages a headphone-free environment during the running of all club events.
Running headphone-free allows opportunities to develop camaraderie with your fellow runners and walkers and enjoy everything the race has to offer. Important information including pre-race instructions, instructions or warnings from officials on course and at the finish line area often are not heard by participants with headphones on. This creates a safety hazard for the individual with the headphones on and all others around them. Runner safety has always been, and will continue to be, a top priority for our events. Please be mindful of the other participants and respect the race officials to ensure a safe and enjoyable race for everyone.
O! Say Can You Sing?
If you have a good voice and would like to sing the national anthem at upcoming races please contact the NOTC Race Director at racedirector@runNOTC.org.
