Is bib swapping allowed?

Absolutely not. Registration is free, so be sure to sign up for your own bib and help keep our race recording accurate across all categories.

 

How should I wear my bib?

For the most accurate chip read be sure your bib is fastened to the front of the outermost layer of clothing, secured with 4 safety pins.

 

Can I bring my pet?

Of course! We ask that all pets remain leashed according to Wheaton Regional Park guidelines and that you run, walk and roll towards to back of the course.

 

I have a stroller. Is that okay?

Absolutely! We are excited to have anyone, of any age, participate in the event. We do as that if you are running or walking with a stroller that you start the race towards the back.

 

I can’t attend anymore and would like to give my registration to someone else. Can I do that?

No. Your registration cannot be transferred to anyone else. All participants must register for the event. This allows our race recording to be accurate and better ensure your safety.

 

I’m bringing friends/family to the event, but they haven’t registered. Is that okay? 

The more the merrier! They can register on site and pick up their bib at the registration tent.
