What if there's bad weather? The race will go on rain, shine or heat. In the event of severe weather the Race Director may delay the start of the race. We do strongly recommend purchasing the Ins coverage offered through run signup to cover you for any reason.
Are dogs allowed? Yes, this course is in a dog friendly park however ALL dogs must be leashed and controlled at all times as not to disrupt other participants or spectators.
What if I cant make it? You must email us at [email protected] and let us know and your registration will be carried over to the following year. *It is up to the Race Directors discretion to approve or deny this request.
Why are shirts a separate charge and more than other races? SeaMonkey Apparel takes great pride in their design, production and quality of every shirt they sale. This event is no different. ALL proceeds from the shirt sales will be donated to Pace Center for Girls as a way of giving back. Shirts are a separate add on because we know that not everyone wants a runners T Shirt, so we like to give you the option of purchasing one.
What if I ordered the wrong size shirt? A shirt exchange will be available following the closing of packet pick up race morning however sizes are not guaranteed. We will have a small selection available for purchase on race morning as well.
