May I run/walk with a stroller?
You most certainly may! Strollers will be allowed on the 5k Course. Please just make sure to line up according to your pace and be aware of the other racers positions in relation to your stroller. Basically, just be courteous, don't block, or run anyone over and you'll be good!
May I run/walk with my dog?
Here at RMP, we love puppies so much! So it is hard to say no, but no. Per our insurance we cannot have puppies, no matter how cute they are, on the course racing amongst all of our participants. Sorry!
Are there any age requirements for the events?
Kid's Dash participants need to be under 12 years of age. There is no age requirements for the 5k. We will allow parents to make the call on their child's ability. We trust your judgement, after all, it is your kid!
Where should I park?
This event starts/finishes inside the Shops at Perry Crossing Mall. There is parking all around the shops. The best parking will be behind the AMC Movie Theater. This lot is large and allows for the best in and out before and after the race.
Is there a registration deadline to receive shirt/medal?
Race SWAG is ordered 2-4 weeks in advance of the race. We do our best to predict race needs in advance, but its possible that we could run out of shirts and/or medals. To be certain that you will receive a medal and the desired shirt in the desired size, plan to register at least 2 weeks before the race. After we place our shirt order, inventory will be entered into the registration system. As sizes sell out, they will no longer be able to be added to registrations. If you register and are able to select a specific shirt and size, its all yours. If your size is sold out, you may opt to skip the shirt and save $5 off registration by select "opt out of shirt" If medals sell out, we will also let you know during the registration process.
Can I have a friend/family member pick up my packet for me?
Absolutely! Race morning can get crazy if we have long lines at packet pick up, so if a friend is picking up theirs early, go ahead and let them grab yours too!
How can I volunteer?
We LOVE volunteers! We need people on the course to cheer on our runners and make sure they stay on course. We need folks to help hand out medals at the finish line and more. Volunteers will earn RMP race credit and a race shirt. If you would like to volunteer check out the VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES.
I have registered, but now am unable to make the race. What are my options?
We do have a no refund policy, but we can definitely get you into the virtual race event. If you would like to switch to virtual, please email us by Thursday, March 14th. You may pick up your SWAG at Packet Pick Up or have it shipped for a fee. See our VIRTUAL PARTICIPATION page for more info.
Do you offer discounts to groups/run clubs/corporate teams/etc?
We love supporting our local run/walk clubs and other groups training, moving, and working on their fitness! Email us and tell us a little bit about your group!
Will you have a gear check?
There will be no gear check. The parking lots of the Shops at Perry Crossing are all in close proximity to the Start/Finish Area. Please plan to lock up any items needed after your race in your car.
