Please participate based on the event you registered for. As an example, if you registered as a WALKER, YOU MUST ONLY WALK FOR THE ENTIRE RACE. If you register as a runner, you may run or walk as much as you please. Dressing up and creating fundraising teams is encouraged as we race in sisterhood for the benefit of local women in need. The race will start at 1:30 PM. We welcome the use of jogging strollers as long as those individuals start near the back of the lineup and are very cautious of runners and walkers.
