The Bull City Track Club plays an important role in serving the recreational, health maintenance, and competitive needs of individuals in our community. It is important that all club members embrace the values of good sportsmanship by demonstrating fairness, respect, and responsible behavior, and help to support a sports environment whereby the health, safety, and welfare of all participants is a top priority. The Bull City Track Club Code of Conduct offers general principles and a baseline of behavior expectations to help guide the conduct, and judicious appraisal of conduct, in club situations that have ethical implications. The club grants the privilege of participation to those individuals committed to this mission. The privilege of participation may, therefore, be withdrawn by the Club at any time it is determined that a member’s conduct is inconsistent with the Code of Conduct or the best interest of the event and its participants.
