Q. Are dogs allowed?

A. Unfortunately, our insurance coverage does not allow for this. 

Q. Are strollers allowed?

A. For safety reasons, including safety of the child, caution is advised. Parents with strollers should gravitate toward the back at the starting area.

Q. Is it okay if I just walk the route? 

A. Yes, and you would want to start in the back for safety reasons. Please keep in mind that all participants should plan to cross the finish line no later than 9:30 (90 minute allowance). For example, a 28 minute pace walker would be fine (28 minutes x 3.11 miles = 87.1 minutes). 

Q. How is the race timed?

A. Chip timing mats will be used at the start and finish.
