To ensure a fun and safe experience for everyone:
- Age groups will start in waves to minimize congestion.
- All kids will cross the finish line inside a secure, fenced-in area.
Don’t miss this chance to kick off race weekend with smiles, cheers, and plenty of excitement! Let’s celebrate 20 years of inspiring the next generation of runners—see you at the starting line!
