As a fundraiser, the object of the run is fun. Anyone can participate, regardless of age or ability. The only requirement is that attendees must wear a tutu.
Winners will receive awards. Participants can win door prizes.
Tutus may be bought, borrowed or made beforehand, but tutus will be available for purchase at the event. T-shirts will also be sold.
