FAQ

• Is it okay to bring a jogging stroller?
  If you must bring a stroller, then you must park in the Pleasant Valley Neighborhood. We do not have room for strollers in the busses used at the other parking areas. For the safety of all participants please remain at the back of the pack on the course, and please be careful not to run into other participants with your stroller. 
• Can I bring my pet to the Race?
  No pets, other than leashed service animals, are allowed on the course on Race day. Instead, please bring your dogs to our Pooches in Pink the day before the Race. Learn more at Pooches in Pink. 
• What about radio headsets, roller blades, inline skates, bicycles?
  For the safety of all participants, radio headsets, roller blades, inline skates, and bicycles are not allowed on the race course.
• Do I have to raise money in addition to my registration? 
  Additional donations are not required, but additional donations will help us to serve even more Southern Colorado men and women with education, treatment, screening, and support.  Think of the Power of 10…if you ask 10 friends and family members to each donate at least $10 to your Race efforts, you could raise $100 or more.  That will make an impact!
