- Dog Policy: This is a dog-friendly event: however, dogs must be on a leash. To avoid tripping at the start line, we recommend anyone with a dog starts after the main group has begun. We will have a bowl for dogs set up at the finish line!
- Start Time Flexibility: Anyone who wants to start the race after the main group has begun is welcome, and your time will still be accurate.
- Strollers & Devices: Strollers are allowed, and headphones/iPod/mp3 devices are permitted but strongly not recommended. It is the participant’s responsibility to ensure they do not impair their ability to hear hazards as well as verbal instructions from course marshals.
