They pay the registration fee as a donation but do not run in the race.

Just a reminder that this is this Saturday, even if you or your child choose not to run or walk in the event you are still invited to come downtown and participate in the fun activities planned for the children.

I would think so, there are no ordinances against them downtown as long as they are on a leash. I see lots of people with them down there during other events.

[Shananigans]

hooray! we're coming then!
