Many of those running and walking this event do so with strollers or children right by their side. Participants can enjoy themselves at the post-race party and also head into the the Walking Tour of the beautifully decorated Botanical Garden, Storyland and Carousel Gardens. This event gives participants a chance to see the Celebration in the Oaks Light Display before the gates are open to the general public. The Park is decorated with over 500,000 lights!
