Coffee and orange juice will also be available.  The breakfast is located near the race start line. Feel free to indulge after you run!  

Pear Fair (including the race) is a *Dog Free* event:  We love dogs, but it’s just too hot for man’s best friend.  Please leave them at home on Pear Fair day.  *except registered service animals.

All proceeds go towards local high school athletic programs and scholarships.  

The course is not particularly "stroller friendly"... It is mainly a dirt trail, but there are parts that are gravel, parts that are actively being farmed (be it an orchard, vineyard, or a field), and parts that are paved.  (A recent trial was given the review, "It's too bumpy for a BOB run, Mommy!" - age, 3)
