Strollers are allowed with parental responsibility and children in strollers must pay fair admission to remain on the grounds.
The race proceeds rain or shine unless weather conditions are unsafe. Spectators may watch along the route and at the finish; anyone staying for the awards ceremony must hold a Fairgrounds bracelet as spectators do not receive free fair access.
