Are dogs allowed at the race?
Yes! However, they must be registered on the race registration site. There is a $5 fee to register dogs, this will cover the cost of the bandana they should be wearing on race day.

Owners must clean up after them and will line up in a designated start corral.
I registered for the virtual race, what do I need to know?

My child will be in a stroller, do I need to register my child?
You do not need to register your child for the race if they will ride in the stroller and remain in the stroller while on the course. If your child likes to get out and walk with you periodically, please register your child. Children do not need to remain in strollers on Amalie Plaza. Only registered participants receive a shirt and finisher medal.
Do you need volunteers and how can they sign up?
