The kids' dash will begin organizing participants at 9:30 AM near the stage area. There will be three calls for kids to check in from 9:30 AM to 9:45 AM. Races will be organized by age groups: 5-6, 7-8, and 9-10. While our volunteers will do their best to manage age groups, we cannot guarantee perfect accuracy for each heat. Once participants are organized, they will be escorted to the start line, located about 100 yards west of the start/finish line. Medals will be awarded to first-place finishers in each heat.
