Are there age limits to enter the event? 

The Kids Fun Run is a 1/2 mile event for ages 2-12. Parents are welcome to run with their children. The 5K will not begin until the last child has finished the Kids Fun Run race, so parents may run both the Kids Race with their child and the 5K.

Children under 12 are allowed to run the 5K race. 

The Kids Fun Run registration fee is $10

The registration fee for children age 14 and under for the 5K is $15 (pre-registration), $20 (race day).

​

Are strollers/dogs/walkers allowed on the course? 

Absolutely! This is a family event - the more the merrier! We ask that participants make best judgments about their canine friends, keeping in mind other dogs and a crowded social setting with loud noise. Strollers and walkers are welcome and are encouraged to start behind the runners on the course.
