DOGS AND STROLLERS
RUNNING WITH YOUR DOG
Dogs on 5 foot, non-retractable leashes are permitted at all Pacers races. Dogs must be friendly, be up-to-date with shots, and have no history of fighting or biting. Pet owners take full responsibility for the behavior of their pet, must start towards the back, may not weave through packs of runners, must yield the right of way to other runners and must clean up after their pet.
Sharing your day with your best 4-legged friend, if you will be participating with a dog, we will ask you in registration to please acknowledge that you agree to abide by the following safety guidelines:
* Insure that your Dog is on a non-retractable leash no longer than 5ft. ( We have to require that Dogs must remain on-leash at all times before, during and after the race - safety and park rules!)
* When participating with a stroller or dog, you must line up at the back of the pack and navigate around other participants safely and with the utmost caution. Otherwise clotheslining is a real thing?
* Be aware of your surroundings, respect others on course, and use good decision making skills and good sportsmanlike and dogmanlike conduct at all times.
**** Dogs are NOT allowed on the shuttle bus to the Mount Vernon start area.
RUNNING WITH A STROLLER
Pacers Running believes a fit family is a happy family and allows strollers on course for the PNC Parkway.
Safety requirements include that strollers must start in the back, may not weave through packs of runners, and must always yield the right of way to other runners.
** Youngsters will not be required to register as long as they remain in the stroller for the entire duration of the race. If you anticipate that at any point your child/children will be moving on the course out of the stroller and under their own power, then they will need to register. This is for th Vernon 10 mile start line.e safety of all participants. Registration will also include race premium, course hydration, finisher’s medal, and post-race items (water and food) for your child/children.
**** Stroller are NOT allowed on the shuttle bus to the Mount Vernon start line.
