Q: How can I confirm my spot?

You can confirm your spot by searching under find a participant at runsignup.com/sweethomegreenbay

Q: Can I push a stroller or bring my pup?

Due to size of the paths, pups and strollers are not allowed on the course. We love dogs- in fact we have 3 at home. However, the crowds of folks (who may or may not be as much of fans as we are) can be unpredictable and can startle a pup in an instant, or may not be paying attention and trip over a leash or Spot himself. Furry Friends are welcome at the finish line with a friend or family member outside of the crowd.

Yes! There is a 30 minute/mile pace on the course. We ask that walkers move towards the back of the crowd at the starting line to allow for runners to keep their preferred pace.

Q: How can I find out how I did?

The event will be timed and results will be available via social media and 414events.com after the race, as well as on-site. Top 3 Guys and Top 3 Gals will be awarded race day. We do not have age group awards.
