STROLLERS:
This event is not a good fit for strollers along the route. There will be fast people coming up from behind you on the trail portion of the event, and the transition area has people turned around in order to accept the hand off of the baton. It’s just too dangerous.
Strollers ARE allowed in the Runners Village.
