Strollers, Dogs, Costumes
We love kids but!!! We must prohibit strollers in the Half Marathon. We know that you are careful parents. Dogs at a race may be a hazard to runners, children and spectators. We also cannot have runners in costumes as this is a hazard to other runners and a safety issue that our insurance company will not cover these situations. We ask foryour cooperation!! Thank You.
