PARKING:

Free parking is available onsite and a short distance to the registration area.

STROLLERS AND PETS:

WHILE OUR 5K AND 1-MILE COURSE ARE BOTH STROLLER-FRIENDLY, PARTICIPANTS WITH STROLLERS SHOULD STAY TOWARDS THE BACK OF THE START LINE TO AVOID ACCIDENTALLY BLOCKING OR INJURING FASTER RUNNERS. STROLLERS CAN BE DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER IN CROWDED CONDITIONS, SO KEEPING THEM OUT OF THE MAIN RACING TRAFFIC HELPS ENSURE THE SAFETY OF BOTH THE STROLLER PUSHER AND OTHER PARTICIPANTS.

DUE TO THE SAFETY OF ZOO ANIMALS, PETS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED ONSITE.
