The Demon Dash is open to everyone from 10 years of age and up! It is for serious runners and not-so-serious runners. You may walk the entire route if you choose. Bring your friends, kids in strollers and babies in papooses! NO BICYCLES PLEASE. What is super exciting about this race is you can walk/run with your 4-legged furry friends! Yes...dogs are welcome to participate! You must have your dog under control at all times and please be courteous and remember to clean up your puppies' messes! ALL DOGS MUST BE ON A LEASH!
Also in the spirit of Halloween all participants (even ones with fur) are encouraged to DRESS IN COSTUME!! Prizes will be given out to the best costume as well as human/doggie novelty. This includes a prize for your furry companion as well!
