Please call 614-884-4400 and let us know you would like your item held at our office or email Candice at claframboise@lifecarealliance.org .
Is this event stroller friendly?
The run or walk itself would be stroller friendly. The Three-Legged Mare and Boston’s may be challenging to navigate a stroller, because the venue is very busy.
Can we register as a group?
A Team Captain will need to register first, then each person can register individually. Each team member will need to indicate the team that they are joining by indicating the team name.
Are there restrooms on the course?
There will be one portable restroom available at the race start/finish line.
