Can I walk the 5K instead of running?
Absolutely! This event is designed for all fitness levels, so you can run, jog, or walk the full 5 kilometers. Whether you’re racing for a personal best or just enjoying a stroll with friends, you’re welcome.

Are strollers allowed on the course?
Yes. Families with little ones are encouraged to join in, and strollers are permitted. We simply ask that you start toward the back of the group to keep the path safe and comfortable for everyone.

Can I bring a bike or scooter?
No. For the safety of all participants and to keep the course clear, bikes, scooters, skateboards, and similar wheeled devices (other than strollers or mobility aids) are not allowed.

Will the race be officially timed?
Yes! The 5K will have professional timing so you can track your pace and results. Official times will be posted after the race so you can celebrate your achievement. Please note: the 1-mile fun run will not be timed.

Is there a minimum age to participate?
Not really—this is a family-friendly race. For the 1-mile fun run, children ages 0–2 may participate free of charge. Older kids are welcome to join either the 1-mile or the 5K.

If I can’t attend, can I get a refund?
No, all registrations are non-refundable and non-transferable, even in case of bad weather, scheduling conflicts, or other unforeseen circumstances. Your registration helps cover permits, timing, and all the details that make race day possible.
