(20-minutes after 5K Open Runner Start)
The Kellogg's 'Special K' Walk & Stroller Roll will be open exclusively to all 5K walkers of all ages and those runners and walkers wishing to participate while pushing a baby jogger or baby stroller.
After years of not allowing baby joggers or strollers in the 15K or 5K, the Gasparilla Distance Classic Association will encourage Healthy Living for the entire family, and invite families to walk together and parents with little ones to come out, run or walk and enjoy an event created especially for them.
Registration fees will be according to the established 5K fees. Fees for adults and children five years of age and over will be $25 until Sunday, February 15 and on Race Weekend, February 27 & 28, $30.
Registration fees for stroller age children four years of age and under will be $5 until Sunday, February 15 and on Race Weekend, February 27 & 28, $10.
Stroller age children will all receive the #1 as their Race Number and upon crossing the Finish Line will be presented with their very own Kellogg's 'Special K' 5K Walk & Roll Finisher's Medal. When filling out the 2009 entry form or registering online, parents MUST provide the names and ages of stroller children that will be participating. Only officially registered walkers and stroller adults and children will be allowed in the Kellogg's "Special K" 5K Walk and Stroller Roll Start Area.
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT BABY JOGGERS AND/OR STROLLERS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED IN THE 15K, MARATHON OR HALF MARATHON.
