In order to provide our participants with the best experience possible we are actively seeking event volunteers, groups and volunteer leaders. All participants MUST be registered for the race, including infants and toddlers. We do not allow strollers or pets on the bridge. Please check the website, our Facebook page, and your email before the race for any changes or cancellations. In such situations, there will be NO REFUNDS as registrants accept any such risk of their entry free when signing up. Any decision to cancel an event is done as an absolute last resort and is made collectively with local risk management, police, fire & rescue, and medical personnel as appropriate. If there is more than a short delay, if conditions persist, or the forecast calls for extreme weather, race officials reserve the right to alter or cancel the race. In the event of severe weather, the race may be delayed as race officials consult public safety officers. Race organizers will do as much as we can to ensure the experience is as safe as possible. However, there is always the potential for extreme or severe weather conditions. All clothing collected will be donated to charity. It is required that athletes wishing to shed layers do so before they get on the bridge. Dress appropriately for the cold and wind.
