Q: Can I reserve a shirt in a certain size?
A: As long as you register early, we will order the size you have requested on your registration form. Registrations received after Oct. 1 are not guaranteed a shirt. Extras will be ordered and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.

Q: Do runners start at a separate time than walkers?
A: Yes, the Willie Walk will begin at 8am with the W5K starting at 8:15am. For the W5K, we will also ask that runners lineup at or near the starting line and the walkers gather towards the back of the line. We also ask that all racers allow people to pass on the left. If you're at a slower pace than those behind you, please stay to the right of the path.
