-This is a family-friendly event and running strollers are allowed.  However, please be courteous to other runners at the start line by moving to the back of the pack.  
-Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed in this race. Although we love them, they are too much of a liability for the safety of the other runners.  
-We ask that you please clean up any personal garbage/trash and not leave personal items along the course. We also ask that you respect the community that has been helpful in making this race possible. 
-MP3 players and head phones are also allowed, but please use caution and be aware of your surroundings as none of the roads will be closed to traffic during the race.
