Entry Fees:

Free

The kids fall series has been free for all but one year, when $5 was charged in 2002.  The expenses for the kids races (ribbons, cookies, bibs, finisher items) have been covered by the adult fall series entry fees and also by revenue generated by the American Discovery Trail Marathon.  The intent is for a family to bring all their kids and incur little or no expense for all kids to participate.

Awards

Kids who run in all four races will receive a special item at the last race.  Kids who run in 1, 2, or 3 races will also receive something as a celebration of their accomplishment.

Event History

The Kids Fall Series started sometime in the early 90s.  The emphasis is on fun.  Watching the toddlers dart about in 20 different directions is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.

The Kids Fall Series is a series of four races in four different city and county parks.  There are 4 separate divisions of progressively increasing length, as follows.

Ages 0-3        25-50 yards
Ages 4-5        .25 mile - 600 yards
Ages 6-11      .5 mile - 1.5 miles
12 and up     1.5 miles - 3 miles

The age groupings are suggestions only.  Each kid can run whatever distance they feel comfortable with.

Each child receives a ribbon after each race.  A special item is also distributed to each child after the races in Palmer Park.

At all venues, the younger kids (age 5 and below) will run on flat grassy areas, or around a dirt track.  The older kids (6 and up) will get out on the trails in each park, some of which have mild hills.
