Participants are not allowed to run with dogs. Running/walking with a stroller is allowed. 3:15 time limit for the half marathon. If more time is needed, please email us at abetterworldrunning@yahoo.com for early start.
This is a small informal event. Everyone will get a finishers medal as well as a goodie bag. To keep costs low we do not offer any special awards or t-shirts. This is not your normal large festival like race. We are a low key race that emphasizes a more personal satisfaction to racing. Thank you and look forward to seeing you out there!
NO REFUNDS. Transfer only by emailing abetterworldrunning@yahoo.com requesting a later date or transferring to another participant.
