• Banned Devices: In-ear earbuds (like AirPods), over-ear headphones, and open-ear acoustic devices that block or sit inside the ear canal are prohibited on any open or partially open roads to ensure runners can hear traffic and marshal instructions.
• Permitted Devices: Bone-conduction headphones (such as shokz openrun) are allowed because they sit outside the ear and do not block hearing. Medically prescribed hearing aids are permitted but should be declared beforehand.
