Pets at the Race:  Bringing your furry friend along? Awesome! Just be sure to follow the Pell City Animal Ordinance and Lakeside Park Rules. All pets must stay on a leash, and don’t forget to clean up after them. Remember, you’re in charge of your pet’s actions, so let’s keep things fun and safe for everyone!

Strollers at the Race:  The course includes a mix of asphalt running paths, roadways, grass, and a wooden bridge, which might not be ideal for pushing a stroller. If you're participating with a stroller or children, we kindly ask that you keep your children with you at all times and start from the back of the starting line. This will help ensure a safer and more enjoyable race experience for everyone involved.

Bib Number Transfer and Cancellation Policy:  Registration fees are non-refundable, and unfortunately, transfers to another person are not permitted. Thank you for understanding. 

Note:  This event will take place rain or shine, whether it's warm or cold! In the unlikely case of extreme weather, we may need to cancel, but rest assured, your entry fee will be put to good use as a donation to the St. Clair County Sheriff's Boys Ranch.
