This is a short 100-200 meter sprint prior to the start of the race to give our little ones the opportunity to experience the racing environment without the pressure of a seemingly long, endless course.

- Event-themed participation t-shirt
- Finisher Medal (5K / 10K / HALF ONLY)
- Eligibility for Age Group Awards (5K / 10K / HALF ONLY)
Age groups will be awarded 3 deep in the following divisions: M/F 0-9, M/F 10-14, M/F 15-19, M/F 20-29, M/F 30-39, M/F 40-49, M/F 50-59, M/F 60-69, M/F 70+.
