Q: CAN I BRING MY DOG?
A: Yes! Your furry friends are welcome to trot with us! We just ask that you clean up after them, keep them on a leash, and line up towards the back of the start line so no doggos get spooked at the race start. ADDITIONALLY, ALL DOGS MUST STAY OUTSIDE. NO DOGS ALLOWED IN THE GRAND THEATER.
