Bob Baronner Apple Trample 5k

Q: Is this event mainly for runners or open to all? 

A: Runners, walkers, and wheelchair participants are all welcome to join the fun. This family-friendly event encourages individuals of all ages and abilities to come out and enjoy a festive morning together. Whether you're racing to the finish or taking a leisurely stroll, we’d love to have you be part of the celebration!

Q: What is the timing of the 5K? 

A: The race officially starts at 10:30 AM. Participants are encouraged to complete the 5K within 1 hour and 15 minutes.


Q:  Are strollers allowed in the event? 

A:  Yes, strollers are allowed and encouraged. If you are participating with a stroller containing a child or pet, you are highly encouraged to start at the back of the group. Throughout the race, you must keep a safe distance and yield to all other participants. You are responsible for the safety of both yourself and the passenger in the stroller. A youth that participates in the event from a stroller (for all or part of the event) will not be considered a timed participant and will not be eligible for any awards. 

Q: Are dogs allowed to participate in the event? 

A: For everyone’s safety and enjoyment, we kindly ask that participants with dogs start toward the back of the group. Please keep your pup on a short, non-retractable leash and maintain control at all times. Be mindful to keep a safe distance from other participants and yield as needed throughout the race. And of course, don’t forget to clean up after your furry friend before, during, and after the event. Let’s keep the course safe and enjoyable for all—two- and four-legged racers alike!

Q: Will transportation be available from the race finish area back to the race start area? 

A: Yes, EPTA is providing free shuttle service from the race finish area back to Berkeley Medical Center's campus. EPTA will pick up race participants at the intersection of Stonewall Dr. and Bulldog Blvd, near Martinsburg South Middle School.
