Sign your kiddos up for our BRAND NEW KID'S DASH! 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. Dashers receive participation shirts, and will have the option to add finisher medal to their registration.

Registration Includes:

     - Event-themed participation t-shirt

     - Finisher Medal (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+.
