Frequently Asked Questions

1. What if my child just wants to do the Kids' Super Dash, do they still need to be registered?  Due to liability issues, yes, all participants must be registered.  
2. Can I use a stroller for the 5K? Yes, please register everyone who will be participating.
3. How far is the Kids' Super Dash? The Kids' Super Dash is a short walk/dash around the shorter loop of the park--we have volunteers along the course and it usually takes around 10 minutes for the kiddos to complete the dash.
