Event information

Pets are not allowed in cemetery, however you can bypass cemetery and still do a 10K. Due to personnel turnover at Hardees, They often don't seem to know what a volkswalk is or where the box is. Tell them the box is clearly marked and is normally kept under the front counter where the cash registers are and says Bedford Hiking Club or Volkswalk Box.
