Racing Minds Kids' Run Series (Fall 2026)
This 3-week running series is designed for kids ages 2 to 14, with an emphasis on personal improvement rather than competition. It's a series of races where finish order for younger kids and times for older kids will be tracked. Kids can race up in their age group but not down. If a child needs a shorter distance due to special circumstances, please email [email protected].
In previous seasons, participants have learned about being courageous, determined, focused, curious, and resilient. Running naturally teaches many life skills!
