Please note, due to restrictions NO DOGS/ PETS are allowed. Please don't bring them. The course is not completely closed so this is for safety purposes. Plus, pets don't always react around crowds the same as they do at home. Just be courteous.

If you or someone you know would like to participate this year but cannot afford to, or if you are a First Responder please email us at JusRunningRaces@gmail.com with NOMINATE A GIFT REGISTRATION in the subject line.  Please provide us with the person(s) name, phone number and email address.
