Can I run with a City Mini stroller?

We've rented from a certain baby-equipment place before, but I think it was a BOB or a BabyTrend, neither of which is showing up on the site. This is what they show for a single jogger though I thought I've read they're not actually joggers:

Safe, or keep looking? The front wheel locks or swivels; of course I'd run with it locked. Thinking 2-4 miles with 38lb DS a few times in a week.

Never mind. I went to the actual stroller's site and it says at the bottom "Not intended for jogging." Baby *Jogger* brand FAIL.

I have the Baby Jogger City Mini Elite (bigger SUV type wheels) and I run with it every now and then. Ive done 6 miles and been fine.

I have the City Mini and a BOB - definitely wouldn't run with the City Mini

Yeah took me a while to sort out the name brand is Baby Jogger. Lame.

I got completely crushed in a 10k by a guy pushing a double City Mini with a preschooler and a toddler in it. Talk about a blow to the ego.

But no, I don't think you're *supposed* to run with them. It would certainly be easier with bigger, air filled wheels.

I have the City Mini Double and you "could" do a slow 2 mile jog on an even, paved surface but it is definitely not what this stroller is designed for. But it is great for just strolling around...ours is very light and turns on a dime and it is the double.

I definitely wouldn't be on even sidewalk/surfaces when we use it. Nuts.
