Only if you want to! There will be a raffle, face painting, and food trucks that require payment to participate, but none of them require cash and can accept other forms of payment.
Are pets allowed?
No. We love our furry friends. But, in order to keep everyone else on the trail comfortable and safe we ask that you leave your four-legged or feathered companions at home.
Are strollers allowed?
Yes! We know that 3 miles might be far for little legs, so we encourage families to bring strollers or wagons to help children along the way. Please no bikes.
Are there bathrooms?
Yes. The park house at Orchid Heights Park has bathrooms available for use before you hit the trail and for use during the Party in the Park.
Is the run timed?
No. Our fun run/walk is non-competitive and will not be timed, although you are welcome to time yourself.
Are sponsorships available to help support the event?
Yes! Learn more about our sponsorship opportunities.
