STROLLERS
Following the RRCA (Road Runners Club of America) guidelines, we do not permit strollers in any of our races as they increase the potential for injury to race participants and children. Due to the easy congestion of our trail system and the amount of people that participate in our Rochester event, strollers pose too high of a risk for injury.
