Event
Rules
Please
review the following event rules for the Relay For
Life of Pottstown. They have been revised to take
the new track surface at Pottsgrove High School into
consideration, and are in place for your safety and
for the security of the event. Revisions are highlighted
in bold.
-
The
event will be held rain or shine.
-
Student teams under 18 must have 2 adult chaperones at the tent site for the entire 24 hours.
-
ALL youth teams must partner with an adult team.
-
One site per parent team on the track or on the
center aisle (may
not have one on track and one on center aisle).
Sub-team sites will be stacked behind the parent
team or they may pick a site in another area.
-
Sites are 15 x 20 feet
-
Tent site selection begins at the first team captain
meeting in April.
-
Site setup times will also be chosen beginning at
the April TC meeting when your tent site selection
occurs. Sign up posters will be displayed in the
site registration area with 6 two-hour slots (five
on Friday, 9:30 and 11:30 am, 1:30, 3:30 and 5:30
pm; and one on Saturday from 6:00-8:30 am). Volunteers
will be available to help teams move their supplies
to their tent sites.
-
We
strongly encourage transporting your supplies in
on Friday.
-
The track will have 10 points of entry…six
man size gates, and four with a 12 ft gate. A bridge
will be in place for heavier items to cross over
the track. It will be located near the shed beside
the away bleachers.
-
Pottsgrove School District will also provide a limited
amount of handcarts and flatbed push carts for your
use. Please return them when you are finished so
they will be available for the next team.
-
Non-motorized strollers, wheelchairs, wagons, garden carts and handcarts with rubber wheels are allowed.
-
No cars or motorized vehicles will be allowed inside
the fenced area on the track. The track is composed
of a rubber base with a painted surface which can
be damaged by any motor oils, antifreeze or food
products spilled on it.
-
Bicycles,
roller skates, scooters and electric wheelchairs
are not permitted.
-
No food or beverages (other than water) will be
allowed on the track.
-
The
center aisle of the field will be used as “food
alley” for teams selling food and drinks.
This will be a high traffic, high visibility area
due to the proximity of the main tent.
-
No
gum may be chewed
-
No spiked heels. Flat, rubber soled shoes are necessary.
-
All registered participants will receive a security
bracelet. There will be a curfew imposed late Saturday
evening. Unregistered participants are encouraged
to attend the Relay during the day and evening,
but should be leaving for home by the curfew since
this is the time the Relay winds down for the night.
-
No
open fires are allowed. Personal gas grills and
Coleman stoves are permitted provided their areas are roped off for
safety! Please be mindful of your neighbors and
the smoke from your grill.
-
No animals are permitted on school property, except
Seeing Eye Dogs.
-
No alcohol or tobacco is allowed on school property.
-
Be responsible for the area around you. Clean up
trash at your tent site, in the main Activity Tent and the surrounding
track area.
Loud music is not permitted.
No liquid glow-in-the-dark items of any kind (necklaces, bracelets etc.) are permitted on school property.
Upon the close of Relay, site teardown will remain
the same as previous years with the exception of
NO MOTORIZED VEHICLES on the track. Handcarts and
volunteers will be available AFTER closing ceremony.
