Occasionally we get questions about bringing a stroller on the trail. The trail uses a single track mountain bike trail with wooden bridges. If there is snow it will be a tough push.

We also get questions about bringing dogs to the race. The the trail is very narrow so we don't recommend bringing your four legged friend.
