Each event will provide participants, based on age, the opportunity to complete either a 1/8-mile, a 1/4-mile, or a 1/2-mile course, and every child will also receive a T-shirt co-branded with that weekend’s college partner.

Races will start at 10:00 a.m. each week, and participants will be separated into different heats based on the number of kids in any specific age group.

You can register for all of the races online in advance. On-site registration will also be available each week starting at 9:00 a.m.
