Occasionally we get questions about bringing a stroller on the trail.  The trail uses a single track mountain bike trail with wooden bridges.  If there is snow it will be a tough push. 

We also get questions about bringing dogs to the race.  The the trail is very narrow so we don't recommend bringing your four legged friend.
