FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Here are some frequently asked questions -- and the answers!  If you still have a question, please send an email message to info@twilighter.org

I'm a team captain. How do I register my team?

You need to complete a special team registration form listing all your team members, and pay the team registration fee. Go to the Teams page for instructions and a team registration form.

How will I get my results?

We will post the overall and age-group winners on race night on the large results boards on the steps of the county courthouse (the "Old Grey Courthouse"). In addition, we will have a large, lighted message board in the square that will be used for announcements, including winners. We will post complete results on this web site as quickly as possible.

I won't be able to run can I get a refund?

Sorry, but there are no entry fee refunds. Just think of it as a contribution going to a good cause -- the Rockville Rotary Youth Recreation Fund.

Can I transfer my registration to someone else?

Yes, but you must follow a special procedure -- and do so before 4 p.m. on raceday.   You need to provide a signed statement that you wish to transfer your entry to the recipient. He/she must come to Packet Pickup on Friday evening or Saturday before 4 p.m. and go to the "Problems" table.  After signing a new waiver, the recipient will receive a new number.

I'd like to volunteer. How do I sign up?

Can you volunteer? Do runners run in Rockville? Great!  Just go to the Volunteer page, and you can sign up online, or print out the volunteer form and mail it in.

I'm running the Fun Run. Can I buy a t-shirt?

Maybe.  Extra T-Shirts, if there are any, will be put on sale after the race. (Hint: We seldom have any left-overs.)

A non-running friend is coming with me. Can he get refreshments?

Yes, just not the refreshments reserved for registered runners. There will be vendors selling a variety of refreshments at the race festival site.

May I run with my "baby jogger" (dog, headphones, skates)?

No - please don't even think about it! Not only are we prohibited from allowing these in our race, all of these things are a hazard (both to the runner and to other runners) in a race -- especially one the size (and light conditions) of the Twilighter. Please do not even bring these items to the race site, since must prohibit them in the race.

Is it OK if I walk the race?

Sure - if you can walk at a pace not slower than about 12 minutes per mile. Our course pick-up and clean-up crew will be bringing up the rear, picking up equipment and opening the roads back up for traffic. Anyone who cannot stay ahead of these vehicles (again, about a 12 minute per mile pace) will be asked to continue on the sidewalk and to observe normal pedestrian rules.
