Is the schedule for the 2014 Grand Prix 5k’s out yet?
these links aren’t working. are these really scheduled races?
Hi Nina,
Yes, they are really scheduled races, though I am not sure why the city is having difficulty keeping them updated and online.
Are you still offering pay for 5 races and get one as a bonus?
yes we are offering pay for 5 get the 6th free. there is a grand prix kick off on April 18th at Big Peach where you can for the races.
Do you have to register for 4 of the 6 races at one time to qualify for the sweatshirt or do they check participation at the end of the series?
Another question, are all races stroller friendly? Thanks!
