- Do the events have time limits?: Yes, both the 10K and 5K have a 90 minute limit.
- Why the time limits and what happens if I can't finish under them?: Due to the start times and course configurations, there is a slight chance of an over-lap if the 10K limit is exceeded. The 10K time limit eliminates the problem. Any participants over the limit will be permitted to finish but will be asked to move to the side of the street to avoid conflicts with other participants.
- Where are the porta-jons located? A bountiful number of porta-jons will be located near the Start/Finish line at the east end of the staging area parking lot. There will not be porta-jons on the course.
- What is the "Big Raffle" all about: For the last six years, the event has included a Raffle that awards over 300 prizes to lucky participants. All entrants are automatically entered and winners are determined by a computer drawing held the Wednesday prior to the event. Winners are then notified by email and prizes can be picked up at early packet pick-up or at the event.
- Are Strollers Allowed?: Baby strollers are welcome in all events but for safety and to ease congestion at the start, you are asked to line up at the back of the field.
- Dogs Allowed?: No. Violators will be DQ'd, no finisher's medal presented and pancakes will be given to the dog.
- Can someone else pick up my packet at Early Pick-up?: Yes, (They will be asked to sign for you)
