We count on people like you to help provide this safe and secure environment. We hope that you will consider making an impact in this way, and that you understand how life changing your gift will be for children and youth who will be given opportunities because of your sponsorship and donation.

Rules:

Half-Marathon has a 3.5-hour time limit.  (Course support will cease after 3.5 hours)

No dogs allowed.

Strollers welcome for the 5K and 1K. (Please Remember this course will be multi-surface, hilly, gravel, asphalt, and cement.)

Please note that a 15-minute mile pace or faster is required for both the 5k and Half Marathon race distances. A 15 min. mile pace is roughly four miles per hour, equivalent to a very brisk walk. If you fall below this pace, the race organizers can no longer guarantee course support. Aid Stations, medical support, portable toilets, and road closures will begin to become unavailable to participants. The local police and race organizers will ask you to reroute to a shorter version of the course or move up onto the sidewalk where you will be required to obey regular traffic laws.
