We have SO MUCH FUN planned for today’s! Your kids have worked SO hard this season and Week 5 is truly a celebration of that! 🎉🎉🎉
All runners receive a medal as they cross the finish line - even those who join us for today only! Please feel free to invite your friends! A single race is $15 (plus online fee) and is available at the park, starting at 3 pm. All payment is via credit card on your phone. https://runsignup.com/hkrscaledonia. 🏅
The Parent Mile!! Parents and guardians, it’s your kids’ turn to cheer you on for a change! This will take place immediately following the 4th-8th grade mile race (approx 5:15 pm). This is completely optional of course, but the kids really love it AND it gives us time to tally the final results for the award ceremony. The Parent Mile is FREE, but you must fill out this waiver: https://parentmile.paperform.co. When you arrive, please show the registration table your emailed waiver confirmation and we’ll give you a race bib for the Parent/Guardian Mile. If you forget to fill out the waiver ahead of time, we'll have a QR code for you to scan at the registration table. 🏃♂️🏃🏾♀️
Week 5 is also our Awards Ceremony! After the Parent Mile, we'll host a brief awards ceremony (approx 5:35 pm) where the cumulative 1st, 2nd and 3rd place runners in each division will win a trophy! You can view your child's standings in their division using this results link: https://healthykidsrunningseries.org/results/(choose Michigan and then Caledonia). We will also be awarding our 10k, 1/2 Marathon, Most Improved Award and our Healthy Kid Award! You are not required to stick around for awards, but we'd love to have you stay and celebrate with us. **Suggestion for parents - even if you are 99% sure your child is in the running for a trophy, we recommend not telling them. It's not always easy to predict what the outcome of the 5th race will be and we don't want any of our runners to be disappointed. Plus, the element of surprise at the Awards Ceremony is so much fun! 🏆
