3. Is it ok if we bring our dog?
***Dogs are prohibited from being brought to the race. If you, or any family member, or your spectators, bring a dog to the race, we will disqualify the athlete. NO refunds.
A. A race is not a place for the family pet. This is for the safety of our participants, their families, and your dog as well. If you have never been chased, wildly barked at, or bitten by a dog while cycling or running then consider yourself one of the lucky ones. Dogs and bikes and runners do not mix and to eliminate any fear, or the possibility of accidents, we insist that dogs not be brought to the race site. Your dog may be very well-behaved, but this is not the place for them. Thank you for your understanding and for enforcing this with your family and friends.
4. Can my friend run alongside me to pace my run and keep me company?
A. NO. No one other than registered athletes on the course.
5. Is it ok if I walk my bike up some of those hills?
A. Yes.
6. What if I am a really slow cyclist and those hills slow me down even more? Will you pull me out of the race?
A. NO. No cut-off times. Period.
7. I may need to walk some of that run course. Will the aid stations and finish line still be up?
A. Yes. NO cut-off time. Period.
8. Is there post-race food?
A. YES! Each year we provide either a cook-out or pancakes & sausage and it is a family friendly pot-luck. You are not required to bring anything at all. All items, beverages, and paper products are supplied. Your family and friends are welcome to join in the fun and all we ask is a small donation.
