Participants are welcome to walk or run the race. If you’re looking to participate in the challenge, you’ll want to be able to compete the distance within 50 minutes; however, this is not a requirement. If you need extra time to complete the race portion of the event, don’t sweat it! There will be a intermission before the post-race concert begins. You will still have plenty of time to celebrate after you cross the finish.
