More race questions:

Do you allow walkers? 

This is a running race. We provide support on the course in the form of water, traffic control and first aid for those maintaining up to a 13 minute/mile pace.

I have friends and family who want to cheer me on. What is a good place for them to watch the race? Can they meet me at the finish?

The two best places to watch runners are the Village of Woodstock and at the Finish Line. There will be no spectator parking in Taftsville. Spectator parking is very convenient to the Finish Line at the Polo Field. Spectators-if you want to see your runner at the finish line, you must be parked before 10 a.m. on race morning in the designated parking area. Volunteers will direct you.

I am affiliated with a charity that is not on your list. Can I raise money and run in the race just the same? 

As long as you register for the race through the normal process, raise money to your heart’s content.

Is there pre-race registration and bib pickup? Nope.

The system we have in place has been developed and proven over 24 years to work very well. It ain’t broke, we ain’t fixin’ it.

Can my friend support me by bicycle on the course? 

Uh uh, Nada, no way, absolutely not, bikes are prohibited from the course for safety and fairness issues.

Can I use my iPod? 

I need my music. Technically no. The USATF rules and insurance provider prohibit the use of radios, mp3 players and the like. Plus, we want you to enjoy the sounds of the race, including the various musical groups.

Can I run with a baby jogger? 

The rules prohibit baby joggers out of safety concerns among other issues. If you are out of babysitting options, we reluctantly permit them but they must start at the very back of the pack and not advance through the bulk of runners until the pack stretches out around mile 2.
