Parents - please talk to your children about this as they can get excited and run off (and they can be faster than us so hard to catch)! We do not want to have any scary situations of worrying and not being able to share these holiday memories with our kids. 

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to seeing you!

DOGS:

 

Our furry family members (ie. dogs) are more than welcome to join you however, please note that a portion of the route is on a narrow pathway that has runners running in both directions so we request if you do bring you do bring them that they are on a short leash.

We also ask that you are mindful that we will have many children and that some children are afraid of dogs.

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to seeing you!
