|
Is the race going to be canceled because of rain, snow, or other weather?
Our weather policy is to not cancel unless there is a shelter-in-place order or the team cannot physically get to the park. It is a rain or snow or shine event. |
|
Can I run with my dog?
No. Our insurance does not allow dogs on the course. |
|
Do you send out pre-race and post-race emails?
Yes. If you aren't receiving communications from us, please check your spam folder. All participants receive a pre-race and post-race communication with important details related to the race, results, and awards. |
|
Are running strollers allowed at the race?
Depending on the course, strollers may or may not be easily accommodated. We suggest reviewing the course map on the registration page, considering the number of registrations/participants, visiting the park before registering, and being cautious on race day if you choose to bring a stroller. We welcome all runners of any pace and ability level; our goal is for everyone in the race to have fun and be safe! All of our races are on a path or trail, they are not very wide. |
|
Do you give out shirts at the race?
No. Club members will receive a shirt in the mail when they join the club. Club members also receive 50% of the race. |
|
Do you have water, sports drinks, or snacks?
We have water at the start/finish line. All of our courses have laps. If you are running a distance of more than the 5K, you will have multiple water stops. The water stops equal the number of laps. For example: If you are running a Half Marathon and it has 4 laps, you will have 4 water stops. We do not provide sports drinks. Snacks at the finish line. |
|
Do you keep track of laps?
Timers do record lap times, but during the race, runners need to keep track of their own laps. The timers cannot call out laps and recorded times. Do not ask the timer what laps you are on. |
|
Do you have an awards ceremony?
No. We mail out overall awards after the race. You will receive an email after the race with the information to request your award. |
|
Do you have age group awards?
Yes, but not for each race. We do series points for our age group awards. The awards are mailed out at the end of the year. |
|
Do you chip time the race?
No. We only chip time races with over 150 runners. We use a digital app to time the race. |

No. The course is measured for accuracy, but we do not use USATF to certify the course. |
