Strollers? Yeah, totally okay! BUT... 
Just a heads-up: the run/walk is taking place in the South Hills Mall parking lot, and the roads will be open to cars. So, if you're rolling with a stroller, just be cool with that and super careful, especially around other folks and when you're going up or down hills – give everyone some space. If you've got a stroller, we ask that you hang back a bit at the start so the crowd can spread out. 

Is this run timed?
No. This in-person 5k is an untimed fun run. It is completely open to all paces, levels, and abilities, including those working toward a 5K goal. 

Do you have a course map? 
No. This run takes place entirely in the Shoppes at South Hills Parking lot. If you're looking for additional information beyond that, this probably isn't an event for you. 😀

My body is ready... for ice cream AND SWAG! When can I pick up my Ice Cream Run SWAG? 
Bib and shirt pick-up will be at Fleet Feet Poughkeepsie starting on Sunday, 7/20, during regular business hours (11:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.). You can also snag your SWAG on Monday, 7/21, from 10:00 a.m. - 5:45 p.m. An email with additional details will be sent on Saturday, 7/19. 

Shirt sizing deets?
You can choose from a Men's/Unisex T-Shirt, a Ladies' T-Shirt, or a Ladies' Tank. All of the tanks and tees run true to size, and there isn't a need to size up. To keep race costs low, we order the exact number of shirts that we need and are, unfortunately, unable to accommodate size switches once the order is placed. Most participants wear their ice cream run shirts on race day, which is highly encouraged!  

Is there a waitlist if the in-person event sells out? 
No. We will not have a waitlist for this event, which generally sells out. If you are considering registering, don't wait and miss out! 

I'd like to participate, but I don't live locally. Is virtual participation an option?
No. Unfortunately, we can't mail the SWAG for this event. To participate, you must be able to pick up your giveaways at Fleet Feet Poughkeepsie.

I signed up, but I won't be able to attend. Can I transfer my registration?
Yes! Since this is an untimed fun run, you can transfer your registration. If you are reselling your space, you would handle that on your end; we don't resell spaces. Also, please note that shirt sizes cannot be adjusted as shirts are ordered at the time of registration. 

I can't participate due to injury/illness/family emergency, etc. Can I get a refund or transfer my registration to another event? 
No. Unfortunately, we're unable to offer refunds or transfers to other events. Race supplies are ordered as registrations come in. Per the above question, you can transfer your registration for this event to someone else. You can also pick up your SWAG even if you don't make it to the event.

What if the weather is bad?
The event will happen rain or shine, and we will only delay the start time or cancel if there are dangerous conditions such as thunder and lightning. 

What if I miss the event? Can I pick up my SWAG after?  
Yes, you can. Ice Cream Run SWAG can be picked up anytime during regular store hours. We will hold onto it until Monday, 7/28. After that, all unclaimed SWAG will be purged or repurposed. 

Will there be any water on the course? 
Yes. We will have a cooler of water and cups near the start/finish.
