There will be a stroller parking area near the end of the corral where you can retrieve your stroller upon completing your victory lap around the ballpark! Please be sure to take your children with you into the stadium:)
Q: What is a virtual race?

You can submit your times to the virtual results leaderboard between May 1- May 14.
