Kids Fun Run

Timing
The ChronoTrack timing system will be used to score the race. The system uses a disposable B-tag, which must be secured to runners' shoelaces, and records the exact time a runner crosses the starting line as well as the finish line, resulting in a net, or "Chip" time for each runner. Overall awards will be based on the "clock time," and age group awards will be based on "Chip time."
Water Stations
In addition to water at the start/finish, water will be available on the course just past the half-way point.
Parking
Parking will be available in adjacent lots.
Volunteer Opportunities
Join in the fun as an event volunteer! This event relies on 50+ volunteers to be successful and we need YOUR help.
