2. Am I allowed to push my child in my stroller? Yes! We ask that all participants pushing a stroller start towards the back.
3. Can I dress up? Absolutely! We encourage costumes, especially ones that fit the theme! Maybe there will be a prize for the best costume.

5. Do I need to bring my own water? We will have one water stop at the halfway point for the 5K participants. There will be no hydration station for the 1 mile fun run.
6. This is my first ever race. Do you recommend any programs that can help me train for the 5K? Yes! We are a bad influence for good health. Check out any Couch to 5K (C25K) program out there. 
7. I signed up for the race, but I am injured and can't make it. Can I get a refund?Unfortunately, refunds are not permitted. It takes a whole lot of prep work and money to prepare for a race, so we are unable to offer refunds.
