STROLLERS, DOGS, AND WALKERS

• Strollers are allowed, but we ask that you start in the back and stay to the side to let runners and walkers pass if need be. 
• While we LOVE your fur babies, we ask that they stay at home.
• Unfortunately, no walkers are allowed in the 10k.
• But, We love our walkers in the 5k! Walkers, runners, joggers are all welcome!

REFUNDS

Since the Champions Run has many upfront costs, we have a strict and uniform policy of no refunds or exchanges, no person-to-person transfer, or no deferrals to a future year. We do understand that plans change, injuries happen, and various holiday festivities and situations arise, but, we feel it is most fair to apply a uniform policy to all, instead of a subjective line of who should receive a refund and who doesn’t. All purchases and sales are 100% final, no exceptions. Refunds will not be issued based on weather conditions. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.
