Where the Wild Ones Run
We believe that kids should experience the joy, challenge, and accomplishment of running through the woods. We also believe that doing something hard, like running, can be fun, rewarding, and help foster self-confidence and self-esteem. Trail running is extra special, and kids truly benefit from the wildness of it. Our 3 race series is meant to introduce a variety of trails to young runners:
- Princess Place Deer Run: March
- Mala Compra Hare Run: April
- Graham Swamp Boar Run: May
Register your child for the series! One registration, 3 fun events!

If you would like your child to participate but the registration fee is a barrier, please contact [email protected] for information on sponsored entries. If you would like to help sponsor a child, please use the donation option when registering or contact [email protected]. We are also collecting donations and raising funds to purchase new running shoes for kids that need financial help. We believe every child should have access to proper running shoes. Running can shape and change lives, we want to eliminate obstacles of getting started.
More info
Parents can run with their children, they just need to sign a waiver. We strongly encourage parents to run with your young kids, especially the 3-5 year olds. We will have volunteers on the course to help keep the kids on course. We can always use help, please consider volunteering. The courses will be marked with signs and orange pin flags. Kids can run in a lower age group if they want but won't be eligible for awards. Kids can run in a higher age group IF they have experience and can confidently complete the distance.
