No animals are permitted in the race. Strollers must start at the back. Awards and prize money will be given to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place male and female finishers. Medals will be awarded to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishers in each age group. Don't forget your costumes because there will be awards given for those, too! There will also be a free, one-mile Kid's Fun Run. And, as an added bonus, Parks and Recreation staff will be cooking up their famous pumpkin pancakes for race participants!
