Children of all ages are welcome, but because of the trail nature of the course, strollers or baby joggers are not permitted, reported Joe Hecht. To register, call 462‑5030. Registration forms received by September 20 will save the applicant $3, as well as waive the $4 parking. All participants will receive a 2014 event T-shirts.
