Safety: Strollers, Pets and Wheels
Pets are strongly discouraged at Race for the Cure.
For the safety of all participants we discourage the use of inline skates and recreational scooters.
We ask participants with strollers to line up behind runners so that they can enter the course first.
Thanks for your cooperation in helping to make this a safe day for everyone!
