Please cheer them on and welcome them as they are an important part of our event.

Due to the size and density of this event, and for the safety of our participants, baby joggers and strollers are prohibited. The inclusion of strollers in races increases the potential for injury to race participants and children.

Please be mindful of all other participants and respect the race personnel to ensure a safe and enjoyable race for everyone.
