• Always show respect to your fellow Club members at all times in person or in a virtual environment;

• Always show respect and appreciation for the volunteers who give their time to help the Club and/or event(s);

• Always show respect for all property (public and private) in the communities through which we run. Treat neighborhood property as you would want others to treat your own property;

• Always follow all local laws and regulations when participating in any Club events;

• Never make unwanted sexual or physical contact with other members (Members found to be listed on a sex offender registry, convicted of a sex crime, or caught having, creating, or distributing child pornography will be immediately barred from membership and all participation in Club activities.);

• Always abide by race rules and engage in fair competition, which includes anti-doping compliance, no course cutting, or other means of gaining a competitive advantage that is considered cheating when participating in Club races or other races where you may represent the Club by wearing a Club-branded singlet, shirt, uniform, etc.;

• Always report violations of the Member Code of Conduct policy to the Board in writing.
