KIDS MARATHON

EVENT DETAILS

Kids (12 and under) now have an opportunity to join the fun and participate in their own marathon (26.2 miles). This is all about kids being active at a young age and enjoying every mile. They will set their own  pace, keep track of their miles and accomplish a big goal!  

The kids will set a weekly running goal with input from their parents, and will then keep track of 25 miles for the 6-10 weeks leading up to the marathon race date. You can get the log sheet HERE.  On race day they will run their last 1.2 miles  as a group on the race course. They will finish just like the other marathoners and receive a custom medal.  

START TIME

FRIDAY 5:00pm start   /   6:00pm course closure 

Parents can check their kids in starting at 4:00pm.  Upon turning in the completed log sheet, they will get their race bib and T-Shirt.  Parents are welcome and encouraged to run/walk with their kids (Must sign a waiver at check-in).

COURSE

The 1.2 mile course stays on the riverfront path and includes two out and back sections that start and end at the Start/Finish line that is common for the other events. The course map is below and is also available online here https://www.plotaroute.com/route/3137666?units=miles.
