Are strollers/baby joggers allowed on the course?
For the safety of your child and the other participants, we strongly discourage the use of strollers and/or baby joggers. All participants who risk the use of strollers/baby joggers will be directed to the back of the race line up for the safety of that child and other participants.

Note: Dogs, skateboards and bikes are NOT permitted on race day.

How much does it cost to start a team?
There are no additional fees to start a team for Ribbon Run. All team participants need to do is find your team name then register with that team. You must have 7 members on your team to qualify for team packet pickup. 

What do I do if I registered but didn't select the team I wanted to participate on? 
Please contact Kemi Anderson with Huntsville Hospital Foundation at kemi.anderson@hhsys.org. Send your first and last name along with the team you would like to join.

Do you have to have a minimum amount of people in order to have a team? 
Yes, we ask that your team is made of 7 or more registered participants. We ask this due to team packet packing logistics. If your team does not have 7 or more team members, you can still wear your team T-shirts, but as the team captain, you will not pick up your team member’s shirts and packets on the team packet pick up date.

Can I switch my registration from one runner to another? 
No, we have a no-transfer policy. It’s imperative that the registration data associated with your bib number belongs to you, the registered participant.

Are refunds available? 
No, we have a no refund and no transfer policy for the Liz Hurley Ribbon Run.

What are the age restrictions? 
There is no minimum age required to participate, but participants under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Both participants must be registered to participate in the Liz Hurley Ribbon Run.

**If a participant is under 18 years of age, a parent or legal guardian must sign the registration form.
