FAQ'S
Is walking allowed? Yes absolutely! We have many walkers, joggers, and run/walkers at this event!
Are strollers allowed? You are welcome to use a stroller for this event, but all strollers will be asked to start at the back of the group in order to have our runners leave the start line safely.
Is the race dog friendly? We love dogs, but for runner safety we dont allow dogs on the course. Although the paved trails are wide runners will be coming out and back and we dont want runners to trip over your pooch.
Where do I park? There are many parking spaces at Lucy Park near the pavilion, but be sure to arrive early for your event so you have time to park and check-in.
What happens if it rains? The Spring Fling takes place rain or shine, and there are no refunds due to weather events. If there is inclement weather, we will do everything in our power to hold the Spring Fling as scheduled, however, in the case of excessive wind or rain, we may be forced to modify the event. Participant safety is our number one concern.
