Of-course this will be a dog-friendly event! (dogs must be on leash at all times, must do well with other animals, must clean up after your dog, and we are not liable for accidents). We encourage participants to bring their own water bottles. We will have a water station set up along the race as well. However, it will have no cups to preserve the environment.

Please contact Barb Staser (217)-821-0425 with any further questions. Thank you for your support – we hope to see you there!
