Are baby joggers or strollers allowed during the race?
If you choose to run with a baby jogger, we ask that you start behind all other runners. It is your responsibility to make sure your baby jogger does not impede other runners, and you must take extra precaution to ensure your safety, your child’s safety, and the safety of the runners around you. We reserve the right to pull any participant from the race who is endangering other runners or themselves.

A sports drink and water will be available at the water table.
What time should I get there?
