  • FAQ's

    So what’s all this W.A.G.S. Wonder Run stuff about?

    The event is organized by a committee and sponsored by Nature Stone to promote health, ability and visibility in the Special Needs community. Come dressed up as your favorite super hero because everyone is a super hero! This will be our 1st annual Wonder Run, Walk & Roll so we hope you join us in the celebration! The fun doesn’t end when the race does. Stick around and enjoy a puppy kissing booth, free refreshments for all ages, and more! It’s the Run for Ability! Celebrating all our Working Animals Giving Service!

    But what if I’m not a runner or athletic, in any way shape or form?

    You don't have to be anything but Special Needs friendly to attend this event! Have you considered a pleasant walk along the route around Berea? Grab a friend and take a shot at your first 5K.

    Can I bring my family, including the dog?

    We would absolutely love it if you bought your dog to the race! Service animals and pets are allowed as long as they are leashed and follow ADA laws.
    You will have an opportunity to meet some service animals at the end of the race as some of our W.A.G.S. 4 Kids service dogs, dogs in training and demo dogs will be present. Your pet(s) may come with a spectator as long as they remain on a leash at all times and are cleaned up after. You must bring your own doggy do-do bags. If your pets do not get along well with other animals, please keep them at a safe distance from others and from the other animals present at the finish line. If your pet is very well behaved and loves other animals, please respect that this is not true of every dog present. Do not approach others who have dogs or the rescue animals unless they have told you it is safe to do so.

     

    Will there be refreshments provided at the race?

    Yes! Bottled water will be available.

    Parking: Very Important!

    Neighborhood street parking is available and FREE! Limited lot parking will be available (maps soon to come!)

    Will there be awards or prizes?

    Yes. Awards will be given to all of our Runners.

    When and where is packet pick up?

    Packet pick up will take place the day of the event 9am - 10am at Coe Lake, Berea, OH. Please print out your registration prior to coming to packet pick-up to help speed up the process.

    When is late registration?

    Late registration will take place during packet pick up and on race day from 9am-10am.

    What does the race shirt look like?

    A mock-up of the 2019 W.A.G.S. Wonder Run race shirt will be posted in the coming weeks. Sizing will vary depending on cut so please be sure to reference these size charts if you are unsure about which size to choose.

    Want to volunteer?
