TUNNEL CONDITIONS:
Be prepared for extreme darkness and cold temperatures. For this event LED lights will help illuminate the path but a personal light is also recommended. The tunnel is chilly, the average temperature (year-round) is ~50 degrees, so we encourage you to wear a long-sleeved shirt or light jacket. The ground is made of compacted gravel.

This is a kid-friendly event. Children 4 and under are free (and do not need to register).

DOGS:
Animals are not allowed due to the number of participants and event conditions.
