Are strollers and wheelchairs allowed?
Yes. Strollers, wheelchairs, and even wagons for the little ones are all welcome.
Are bikes, rollerblades, scooters or skateboards allowed?
No. For the safety of our walkers and runners we ask that participants do not bring any of the above listed. We must also ask that children’s “heely shoes” not be used in the event lot space.
Is there late check in?
Check-in will be open until the run/walk concludes. We suggest that you check-in when you first arrive. Please go directly to the Registration area when you arrive.

Unfortunately, T-shirts must be picked up on race day.
What happens if it rains?

Should I join a team, start my own, or join as an individual?
It’s really up to you. Each horse at Hanaeleh has his/her own team. They would love it if you joined their team, or if you have friends or family who are running with you, you can start your own!
There is no minimum requirement for team size. Otherwise, you can join as an individual.
Do I need to register my kids?
Yes, please register everyone who will be attending (even toddlers in strollers).This helps us know how many people to plan for and gives us an accurate head count for the walk. Each registered participant will receive a commemorative race number.
