Can I participate with a stroller? 

 

You are welcome to participate with a stroller, but there may be some areas along the course that are difficult to get through with one. Specifically, participants will actually race along the Riverwalk Boardwalk which may be a little bumpy; entering and exiting that area is narrow which may also cause a problem. The course map can be found on our site. It is recommended you view the map, walk/run the course prior to the day of the race & decide for yourself if the course is easily accessible with the type of stroller you have. As with most races, participants with strollers must start at the very end and must be able to complete the course within one hour (the roads will open up to traffic around 6:00 PM).

 

Can you bring a leashed dog to walk/run with you? 

 

Yes; leashed, well behaved dogs are allowed on the course.

 

What do the proceeds benefit?

 

Proceeds from the Riverwalk Run benefit programs of the City of Milton Parks & Recreation Department including youth sports, activities for senior citizens and other community events.
