No dogs allowed. Strollers permitted, but parts of the course through the arboretum may be difficult to navigate with a stroller.

Race Timing
Only the 5K will be timed. Rivalry Events is donating their time and equipment to time the race using chips. We ask that you follow a few instructions:

1. Don't bend the chip tags as they can break.

2. Wear it on your right shoelace. Let it be dangling and loose along the right side of the shoe, not tucked into the laces.

3. Please turn the tags in after the race. Near the finish area their will be a bin to put them in and a volunteer helping collect them.
Race Line-up
We won't have waves, but it will be a narrow start due to the rather narrow course, so please line up based on how fast you expect to run the race (under 7:30 mile in front and walkers in the back).
