Relay Rules and Regulations
See Updated Info


1. There will be a loading/unloading area near the entrance of the Relay field.  This area is NOT FOR PARKING.  We ask that you minimize your time here since it is the only loading area we have available.  Please be courteous to the other campers who need to unload.  Use of wagons, wheelbarrows and/or dollies is suggested to transport items.  We will have golf carts at the event to help transport your supplies to your site.

2. Please DO NOT park in the handicapped parking spots.  We have many disabled participants at Relay and they cannot walk from the remote lots. 

3. Teams may set up their campsites from 2 pm until 8 pm on Friday night. There is no camping Friday night.  We will have security on site to watch your things.

4. Please use the trash and recycling containers provided. Campsites should be kept clean at all times.  At the end of the event, please roll your trash containers to the designated area for pickup.

5. Please keep your tents within your own campsite.  You may extend behind your site if you have the space to do so, but only directly behind and never to the side.

6. Please do not use any metal stakes of any kind. These can ruin the sprinkler system and, if left behind, can be a danger to lawnmowers.  Wood and plastic stakes may be used with caution.

7. Please, no open flames, fuel lanterns, stoves, barbeques, tiki torches, etc.  The only flames allowed are the Luminaria and Luminaria Ceremony candles.

8. Please do not mark the field with anything.  No use of any paints, glue, or other substances on the field.

9. RV parking is available to those who have pre-registered with Logistics. Regular parking is limited so we ask that you do not take up valuable parking space with your RV in the normal parking lot.  To request an RV parking space, please fill out the request form on the Forms page.

10. If you would like to keep your Luminaria Bags, please pick them up Sunday morning before 9 am.  Bags remaining after 9 am will not be available for pickup.

11. Please do not dump the Luminaria Bag sand onto the field. Return the sand to the Luminaria booth.

12. Please remember your sunscreen, a flashlight for midnight trips to the bathrooms, and also plenty of water. We will have some water provided though it may not last the entire night.

13. Food will be available throughout event.  You will need food tickets that may be purchased in advance (Campsite Selection Night and the May Team Captain Meeting) or on the day of the event.  Although food is available, bringing additional snacks and drinks for your team is suggested.

14. No wading pools--there is no water available.

15. Please remember to be courteous to all and keep the noise level down at night.

16. Let your team members know to bring additional cash if they want to participate in games, contests, raffles, etc., throughout the event.  Also, it is a great idea to bring personal address labels (or stamps) for raffle tickets--it cuts down on your writing time!

17. No dogs are allowed inside the Relay Event (except in compliance with ADA Rules). We realize that this is a public park and dogs may use other areas of the park, but we ask that all dogs be kept outside the event for health and safety purposes. Please pass this information on to anyone who might be attending Relay.  Thank You!

18. Due to Health Department regulations, we are NOT permitted to sell home-made food or beverage items.  Any food or beverage items sold MUST be professionally pre-packaged. 

19. NEW THIS YEAR--No alcohol of any kind is permitted on Relay grounds, including wine, Champaign, etc., included in raffle baskets.  (We suggest using a picture of your wine/Champaign bottle inside the basket and arrange to deliver the actual bottle after Relay.)

20. NEW THIS YEAR--Please clear all vendors through logistics.  If you are going to rent popups and/or tents that will be delivered to the event, you must use A-1 Rentals or AV Party Rentals, as both companies have submitted the proper insurance paperwork.  A-1 Rentals is offering a 15% discount with free delivery.  Click here for important details on renting tentsUPDATED 5-23-2009
