Q: Do you time all of the 5 mile participants?

Q: If the parent is not doing the 5 mile run/walk, do they still need to pay $28 if they only do the Kids' Fun Run with the child?

A: Parents are welcome to walk with the child during the Kids' Fun Run and they do not need to pay adult entry fee to do so, however, we will need a signed release from everyone on the course, so parents, please fill out an entry form, sign it and write "parent walking with child in Kids' Fun Run on the form where it says to circle the event you are entering. Parents may purchase an event t-shirt for themselves if they would like to do so for $15.

 

 

Q: Can I walk with my child if he/she is in a stroller or baby jogger?

A: Strollers and baby joggers may be used in the walks only and participants must stay to the back of the pack as to not impede faster participants.

 

Q: Do I have to pay for my 2-year-old to ride in a stroller in the 3 mile walk? I am paying the adult fee for myself.

A: No, children in strollers are free, however, every person, no matter what age, MUST HAVE SIGNED A RELEASE FORM. Parents must fill out a form for the child in the stroller and write "child in stroller with parent in 3 Mile", etc. The child will not receive a t-shirt, unless you decide to purchase one for $15.
