SAFETY RULES:
In order to ensure safety of all runners, roller skates and in-line skates are prohibited from the racecourse. It is VERY important for you to stay alert throughout the race, stay inside cones and obey all race signage. Jogging strollers are permitted but must start in the back.

STROLLERS:
Strollers are allowed. Nurturing future generations of runners/walkers is a priority and is demonstrating healthy lifestyles to our children. We do ask those registrants participating with a stroller to line up behind the runners & walkers at the start line. Please listen for directions on where to line up on race day. Only paid registrants of the 5K Fun Run/Walk will receive a finisher medal. If you would like your child to receive a medal, please register them to participate in the Run/Walk.

PACKET PICKUP INFORMATION & RACE DAY PARKING:

Race Day Packet Pickup will take place at NeoCity beginning at 6:45 am. However, please do allow additional time to pick up your packet on race day due to parking and potentially long lines.
