No pets or wheeled conveyances are permitted on most courses; dogs and strollers are allowed only in the Thanksgiving Day 5K and will start in a dedicated wave under event rules. Headphones are strongly discouraged.
Event swag differs by distance: the half and 5K include a long sleeved adidas performance tee and a medal; the mile and dash include a medal and a beanie.
