Charm City Run Kids XC Series
The Charm City Run Kids XC Series is back and better than ever, with a brand new morning start time! The series consists of five races for kids 14 and under. There are age groups and distances for kids of all ages, and our team is ready to cheer your little racers through what may be the first of many Finish Lines! We'll start with a fun warmup, and then get the races going based on age/distance. Parents are welcome to run with their kids to encourage them and participate in the family fun! After the races, we'll have snacks to celebrate a great time.
