Are is there race time limits?

Are headphones, strollers or pets allowed during the race?
We follow Road Runners Club of America (RRCA) recommendations that strongly advise against allowing strollers, dogs and headphones at races. Unlike running alone with a stroller or headphones, races often involve hundreds of runners. Races run on roads sometimes open to minimal traffic with road hazards such as potholes, loose gravel, blind turns, and given that this is the Shenandoah Valley, major hills. While Frederick County Parks and Recreation tries to make our race courses as safe as possible through good course management, marshaling, and marking, we believe that runners have a responsibility for their own safety and the safety of the runners around them.
What time should I arrive on race day?
Please arrive early to find parking, pick up your swag and get ready to run!
Where can we park for the races?
Parking is available at Byrd Middle School and Evendale Elementary School. Please be courteous and follow instructions from Parking Volunteers.
