<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">“What is EPIC ULTRA (race) Etiquette? Wikipedia defines etiquette as a
code of behavior that delineates “expectations” for social behavior according
to contemporary conventional norms within a society, social class, or group.
Based on this definition, EPIC ULTRA-etiquette can be most simply and
generically stated as: <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">"Whiners will be openly scorned and
ridiculed!"</i></b> Yes, you read that right, and if it offends
you...you are probably not really cut out for this sport and especially these
particular events.</span></div>
