IF YOU WANT A T-SHIRT ON RACE DAY - AND WHY WOULDN'T YOU - YOU MUST REGISTER PRIOR TO MAY 25TH. REGISTRATIONS AFTER THAT DATE WILL NEED TO PICK UP THEIR SHIRT 2-3 WEEKS AFTER THE EVENT.

• The pretentious oval Euro-style race sticker, you've seen them, your friends have them 5K, 13.1, 26.2, my brother and his 50mi. Now you will be able to join the cool kids club too. You will receive a specially designed 0.5k sticker!  Everyone will now know the true athletic genius that you are.
• T-shirts of course. If there is a race there must be a t-shirt!
• Participation medals (we are all about building up everyone's self-worth and creating an environment where life is fair, everyone is a winner, and no one's feelings get hurt)
• Carb-loading has never been easier or tasted better - Our refueling station will serve Coffee and Donuts at the halfway point. 
• Individual and group costume contests with prizes.  Dress up isn't just for kids! Search Pinterest, pull out your sewing machine, support a local thrift store. Wear those crazy sunglasses, pull out that sombrero, wear your Cubs gear (points deducted if you wear stuff with a bird on it but we digress), come in your pajamas, you name it.  Come dressed for fun!
• Awards Presentation and post-”race” party near the playground (go ahead take a spin on the merry-go-round, we know you want too!)  
• And more (as we think of things)

• Is 546 yards too far? Do you only want the exhilaration of crossing the finish line? Sounds like you should be a VIP.
• For an additional $20, you don't even have to run!  You truly are living your best life!
• The official Diaper Dash 0.5k shuttle will transport you to just steps away from the finish line!
• You get all the fun literally without the run!
• We know you are VERY IMPORTANT, not everyone can just buy their way into doing nothing!  For this reason, we will have a few extra perks just for you. What are they? We don't know yet, just know, we got your back big spender! 

• Team “competition”
• Team Captains can create the team through the registration process and then send invites to other team members.
• What does "competition" mean?  How will you compete, exactly? What are the rules? This "race" is being run just like the diaper bank - we may just figure it out and make up the rules as we go. 
• The answer to all your questions - we don't know yet!
• Stop asking questions.
• Trust us.  We'll figure it out and promise that you’ll have fun with whatever we come up with.
• If you’re losing sleep over how the team competition will work, we suggest you try some meditation and contemplate if you really want to be on a team.  Ultimately though, everything is more fun when you do it with friends. Leave the sleepless nights of planning to us.
• Really, you should just sign up, do it, get your team together and sign up.

• Yes, we need them!
• There is a link at the top of the website for volunteer information and registration.
• Please pass the word to your friends.  And we'll gladly put your high schooler to work too!
