Event Day FAQs

Q. Can I bring my dog?
A. Yes! Well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome to join the fun. Please sign up under our Doggie Division option. And please also make sure they are up-to-date on vaccinations and comfortable in crowds. We’ll have water stations for both people and pups.

Q. Do I have to run?
A. Not at all. Walkers, joggers, and stroller-pushers are all encouraged. This is a fun, family-friendly event — move at your own pace!

Q. Will there be awards?
A. Yes! We offer awards for top finishers by age group and gender. Note: participants who select “Prefer not to say” for gender may not be eligible for gender-based awards due to timing system limitations.
