FAQs
Will there be water on the in-person race course? Yes, there will be one water station that you will pass twice on the looped part of the course. We encourage you to carry your own fluids to save waste.
Where do I put my bib number? Pin it on your front. Do not remove the foam or the computer chip on the back.
Can I wear my race shirt when I run? Of course! Wear the tee, or whatever you feel comfortable in.
Can I run with headphones? This is a huge safety issue. Please only use one earbud, or use open-ear-style headphones . You need to be able to hear police, volunteers, cars, and fellow runners. If you run with full-ear headphones you create a safety hazard for yourself and those around you (we’ve got stories). No personal speakers.
Is there a course time limit? There is a one hour time limit (that is approximately 19 minutes per mile pace) for the 5k. After that time (or slightly before as the police deem necessary), you will be asked to use the sidewalks as the roads will be completely open.
I can’t run. Can I get a refund? No, there are no refunds for any reason (including injuries or medical issues). Please know that your money is going towards supporting 2 great non-profits and we appreciate you!
I can't make it to Package Pick Up, can a friend pick up for me? Yes.
Does the race happen rain or shine? Sure Does! Unless there is a natural disaster that prevents a safe race course, there will be a race!
My friend/partner/spouse/child is not registered. Can they just run with me? NO! This is called "banditing" and is essentially using race resources without paying for them (a.k.a. stealing). It's also a safety issue, and even if that person doesn't take the medal or use the potties, they are still using resources they haven't paid for (police, EMS, permitting, labor, signage, etc) . We have capacity limits set for the race as per Wilton Police Dept, so it's also like crashing a wedding or party you didn't RSVP for. Please don't bandit races; create a legit registration instead.
