As much as we’d love to see your little MVPs rolling across home plate in style, strollers are a no-go for this race. The finish line is on a baseball field, and to keep the turf (and toes) safe, wheels just aren’t in the lineup this time. We promise the finish photo will be a homerun! Are Dogs Allowed? We know it feels like a race named after corn dogs should be a canine paradise, but as tempting as it is to let your furry friend chase snacks and glory, the Corn Dog Dash is a no-dog zone (except for the ones on sticks, of course). For everyone’s safety and to avoid any real-life hot dog stampedes, please leave your pups at home.
