Policy on Baby Strollers, Skateboards, Rollerblades, Bicycles, etc.: Our insurance regulations do not permit their use in the race. Our first priority is for the safety of all participants. With a large number of runners and the fact that the course is open to vehicular traffic, the potential is created for safety issues. We hope all participants understand and respect our position and will make appropriate arrangements to comply.
