2026 NCS TAKE THE HILL KIDS FUN RUN
The Kids Fun Run is an untimed 0.8-mile event. All finishers will get a participation medal but there is no medal ceremony since it is an untimed event. The first three kids to cross the finish line will be recognized.
An NCS Cross-Country Runner will lead the kids, while other NCS Cross-Country Runners will stay at the back to ensure no children are left behind. Parents are also welcome to run or walk with their children during the event.
