Are strollers allowed? Strollers are allowed on the 5K route. We ask for those pushing a stroller to line up with the walkers or behind the runners, should you choose to run. Are dogs allowed? We love dogs but we request all four-legged friends stay at home. For the safety of all participants, dogs are not allowed on Faith Church property during the event, both the race route and inside the church. Can I volunteer? YES! Volunteers are needed to make any event a success! We could use assistance with check-in, race route marshals, beverage set-up, giveaway distribution, etc. Email bfrank@WeAreFaith.org. Can I use a drone? Technology can be super cool, especially from a bird's eye view; however, due to insurance restrictions, drones are prohibited.Pick your distance
