Costumes: Oh come on, you know you want to dress up! We encourage everyone to wear their favorite superhero costume (buy it or make it) but it is certainly not required. Which superhero will you be? When selecting your costume, please be reminded that children of all ages will be participating in this family friendly event (costumes should not be too revealing or scary please).

Costume Contest: Local celebrity judges will be at the costume contest booth ready to vote for their favorite superhero costumes in these categories: best baby 0-2, boy, girl, teenager, most inspirational, most creative, adult male, adult female, couple, family, group/team. Let the judge know which category you want to enter.

Stroller Policy: This is a family-friendly race and strollers are permitted however participants pushing small children and infants in strollers must start in the back and stay on the right side of the path at all times. Because the course is out and back and the path is narrow, strollers cannot line up side-by-side. This is for the safety of all participants.

Head Phone Policy: For safety reasons, headphones are not permitted on the course.

Assisted Athletes Information: Assisted athletes with disabilities are welcome. Both the athlete and the assistant must register. Please email us by November 2 to let us know you are participating. [email protected] Assisted athletes will have a 3-5 minute advance start for course safety purposes.
