The 1.5 Mile Run/Walk takes place on the charming streets of Regent Square. The family dog can also join in on the fun. Dogs may ONLY participate in the 1.5 Mile Run/Walk. The dog must be leashed and a dog owner/handler must be registered with every dog, no exceptions.

USATF sanctioned event policy does not allow for strollers or animals to participate in competitions.  The 5K is a USATF sanctioned event; therefore, strollers and dogs are PROHIBITED in the 5K.

Both races start at the Environmental Charter School near the corner of Henrietta and Milton.  The 1.5 mile race starts at 8:15 am and the 5K starts at 9 am.
