The Kids 1K is FREE. However - we do ask that each child be registered online or onsite. T-shirts are available for purchase.
The Kids 1K gives children age 6 and up a taste of the Carry Your Cross 5K in that the children will run down and back up the final leg of the 5K course but do not have to carry a cross unless they choose one.
Parents be advised that this 1K course does take children onto a road that is not closed to traffic; however, it is a VERY low traffic side street and course marshals will be present to help direct runners. You are welcome to run this with your child.
Medals will be given to the top 3 male and female runners in this Fun Run.
You will still have to check in on race day to get a name tag for your child if you plan on using the free child care during the 5K.

We are thrilled to dedicate the proceeds from our race to a local ministry.
At Pole Creek Baptist Church we encourage, educate and provide opportunities for our people to engage and support many ministries. Visit www.polecreek.org to learn more or download the Pole Creek app.
FREE: The Little Kids Fun Run is a short race for children age 2-5. Children age 2-3 run one lap and then children age 4-5 run two laps. This race will begin after the Kids 1K is finished approximately at 10:20am so that parents can watch all of their children run!
We provide childcare during the 5K so that adults can participate too! T-shirts will be available for purchase on race day.
