No Racing, Please
The Road Runners Club of America, the largest running organization in the United States, has various usage guidelines for jogging strollers. According to organization literature:
* “The RRCA strongly recommends against the participation of baby strollers / joggers in road races and against race organizers creating baby-stroller divisions. The reason for this recommendation is that the inclusion of strollers in races increases the potential for injury to race participants and the children.
* “The RRCA has no objection to the safe and prudent use of strollers or baby joggers in training situations.”
* Most race organizations adhere to RRCA guidelines but often don’t mention such restrictions in race fliers or brochures.
