FAQs Are jogging strollers allowed on the course? Absolutely! Is this something my kids would enjoy? YES! Look for the kid-friendly tent with coloring pages, crayons, and stickers that we will be passing out for free, while supplies last. Is the course wheelchair accessible? It sure is! Can I bring my dog? Friendly dogs on a leash are welcome! Should I sign up a team? Please do! Grab your co-workers, gym buddies, friends, or neighbors and come on out. You may win a prize for the largest team! What if I am not a runner? 5Ks are great for walkers, too. If you don’t want to run or walk, sign up to volunteer, or come cheer on others and support a great cause.
