Organiser's description

Come out to the 1st race of the 2024 kid's trail running series, Where the Wild Ones Run! Check out our website for all event details: https://www.elevateeventcompany.com/kids-trail-series

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 will help foster self confidence and self esteem. Trail running is extra special and fun and we believe kids appreciate and benefit from the wildness of it.

Our 3 race series is meant to introduce a variety of trails to the runners. Check out the details below for each course.

This course is flat with some sporadic roots but mostly hard packed dirt and grass. It's a great introduction to off road running. The planned schedule is to start the youngest age first then approximately 15 minutes later we'll start the 6-9 year olds and the 10-13 year olds about 20 minutes later. Start times TBD. Awards for each age group will follow each race. RACE DISTANCES: ~0.5 mile 3-5yr olds, ~1.5 miles 6-9yr olds, ~3 miles 10-13yr olds.

What's included?

Every kid will receive an awesome wooden finishers medal!
We will present awards to the top 3 girls and boys in each age group.
Post-race refreshments will be served. We will not hand out any single use water bottles, we ask that you also do not bring any disposable plastic. Please bring a reuseable water bottle to refill from our drink station.
Every racer will be timed.
