Fast and Furriest 5K: Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cost to participate?

The cost to participate in the Run or the Walk is $35 for adults, and $15 for children under the age of 12. 100% of this cost is tax-deductible. The cost to participate with a canine is free; one canine per participant only.

Are strollers permitted in the 5K race?

Since this is a fun run, all are invited to participate- strollers included. As there will be dogs and leashes involved in the event, we ask that strollers start in the back of the pack, and remain safely on the sidewalks at all times throughout the route.
