Dogs and Strollers:
-Dogs are welcome at the Spring race. We do ask that you keep dogs on a short leash and you start near the back or off to the side.

-Strollers are welcome at the Spring race. We do ask that you start near the back or off to the side. The half marathon course DOES have some tricky spots that strollers might struggle with. A specific jogging stroller would be recommended for the half. Traditional strollers would be fine for the 10k or 5k.
