Event Details
Join us for the first annual Great Train Race kids fun run, a perfect way to kick off the summer! The event takes place on Saturday, June 13th, at the Train Depot by the OP Library. Participants will walk, run, skip, or hop along a course that starts at the Train Depot and loops along the Rails to Trails path.
After or before their run, kids can explore the OP Library, which will feature an inflatable obstacle course, backyard games, and crafts outside. Local fitness vendors will also be present to discuss healthy active lifestyle opportunities in Orchard Park.
