RECOMMENDATIONS FOR YOUTH PARTICIPANTS FROM THE RRCA
Running in a kids fun run or youth track event can be a great experience for kids. For children 5 and under focus on dash events that range from a few yards to 400 meters. For children 5 and over, kids fun runs that are a 1/2 to 1 mile long may be considered, but allow for a combination of running and walking. Children ages 12 and over may want to participate in a 5K run. These are general guidelines and the distance a child can physically and emotionally tolerate will depend on the individual, however, longer distances (10K and over) should wait until after puberty.
Founded in 1958, the Road Runners Club of America (RRCA) is the oldest and largest national association of runners and running organizations dedicated to growing the sport of running. The RRCA uses the term running to encompass the broad spectrum of running in the US, including competitive running, jogging, fitness walking, race walking, and wheelchair fitness/racing on roads, trails, and tracks.
SAFETY
For everyones safety NO dogs, bicycles, roller skates, or in-line skates will be allowed during training or at the 5k.
The use of headphones is discouraged. Strollers are allowed, but no racing, and you must sign a waiver stating that you understand the risks of running with a stroller.
REFUND POLICY
The safety of our participants is our highest priority. Events are held rain or shine and will not be canceled except for cases of severe weather or unsafe road/trail conditions. Less threatening conditions may cause alterations of the course or post-event activities to ensure participant, volunteer, and community safety. We are a nonprofit organization and all net proceeds are used to further the Lakeland Runners Clubs mission in the community. We promise to make every effort to produce a fair, safe and exciting training program.
You are purchasing a training bundle which includes a 5k race. If you can't attend the 5k race, please initiate a registration transfer instead of just giving your bib to someone else. Giving someone a bib registered in your name creates inaccurate race results and can prevent registered and deserving individuals from being properly recognized in their age group, and creates a risk in the case of emergency when EMS is not able to identify the person by their race number.
You may transfer your registration to another runner (officially give it to someone else) under Manage Your Registration until one week before the race.
The LRC is not responsible for identifying individuals for the exchange.
