The Kids Run course: The kids run (for kids aged 1 to 7 years) will start at the 5K start line (just south of the soccer field) and will be run around the soccer field so that the kids will be visible from the field at all times. Parents are welcome to run/walk with their kids. No fee for kids run, but please include their info on the registration page (see below).

The 5K course:
