1-Mile Kids Run

This 1-mile run is for boys and girls 12 years and under. The course primarily goes around the school track and a private driveway, both of which are gravel. It features mild, rolling hills. This out and back race starts at the school and heads south towards Waldo Hills Drive before turning back around towards the school. It has slight elevation changes but is a pretty fast course! Beautiful country scenery in the foothills of the Cascades are all along the course.
