1. What if it rains the day of the race, will you still hold the event?
Yes, as long as there are no safety concerns such as lightning nearby, we will hold the race rain or shine. As a matter of fact, some participants have expressed they’d prefer a light rain versus a hot sun

2. Are strollers or wheel chairs allowed?
Yes, the running strollers and wheel chairs are both allowed. The 5K course is mostly on paved surfaces with a couple hundred-yard stretch on a dirt path thru a wooded area, but we have had participants successfully navigate it before with the running strollers. And most definitely wheel chairs are permitted on the 1 Mile course. It too is on mostly paved surfaces with one short section thru a grassy area.

3. Are dogs allowed?
Dogs are permitted as long as they are on a leash at all times, and that you bring along the proper materials to clean up anything they may leave behind. We’re actually going to have Brodie, Springfield Police Department’s news canine, and his handler Canine Officer Shane Brady running with us this year.

4. What if something comes up and I can’t make it to the race, are there refunds?
You can transfer your registration to another person if you’d like to have someone run or walk in your place. You can also change your category to the Virtual Run too where you can still be a part of the day even if you can’t make it to the race.
And yes, we do allow cancellations with a refund. Send us an email at rocktherun@neo.rr.com and we’ll help you out.
