FAQs:
Is there a minimum age to participate?  
While there is no minimum age to participate, parents should be aware that this event will take place around the Shoppes at South Hills Shopping Center which is open to traffic.  Please use your best judgment when registering minors for this event.  

Are strollers allowed?  
We ARE able to accommodate strollers at this event, however, we ask that extreme caution is used particularly on the downhill portion of the run.  Please leave adequate space between your stroller and other runners.  

Do you have a course map?
The specifics of the loop (which is entirely within the Shoppes at South Hills Shopping Center) will be sent to all participants on 3/15.  

I signed up but can't attend, can I transfer my registration or get my money back? 
Since this is a timed event, bib transfers are not allowed but all registered participants will be able to pick up their SWAG bags regardless of whether or not they actually run.  We are unfortunately unable to offer refunds as shirts and other items have already been purchased.  

What if the weather is bad? 
The event will happen rain or shine and we would only not run or delay the start time if there were dangerous conditions such as thunder & lightning.  Any updates due to weather considerations will be sent to all participants via email.  

What if I miss the event, can I pick up my SWAG after?  
Yes, you can, anytime during normal business hours.  We just ask that you please pick it up before March 31st when everything will be purged.  

Where do the race fees go?  Does this event raise money for something? 
This specific event is raising money for the American Heart Association.  All proceeds from the race fees will be donated.  Fleet Feet will also be donating $1 per lap/loop completed during the 4-hour event to the American Heart Association.
