Post Race Celebration: After the race stick around and celebrate a great run with your fellow runners, watch the awards announcements and partake in refreshments. Along the same vein as awards, we do not guarantee food. But again we love to provide it after our races. Our races will generally have food and drinks at the post-race celebration. We will have Gatorade and/or water at all functions and occasionally coffee or hot chocolate as well. Food can include bagels, cookies, fruit, and even sometimes cake. So stick around and enjoy the celebration.

Stroller and Dog Policy: This race is held on a fairly narrow public trail. In addition to the many race participants, this trail also remains open to the public for use by walkers, runners and cyclists. As such, dogs and strollers are prohibited on this particular course.

Headphone Policy: The use of headphones is strongly discouraged at all DCRRC races.
