Kids Zone Information

The Kids Zone at the Crossroads 5K Run & Walk for Life is a fun, family‑friendly space created especially for children.

What to Expect

​The Kids Zone is 100% free and open to:

• ​Children of registered event participants
• Children whose families are attending the event but are not registered to run or walk

Children do not need to be registered for the race to participate in the Kids Zone.

​Activities will include:

• Sand art
• Pumpkin painting
• Face painting
• Bounce houses

Wristbands Required

​Although the Kids Zone is free, wristbands are required for all children to participate in Kids Zone activities. Wristbands help us manage supplies and ensure a safe, organized experience.

New this year:

Kids Zone wristbands will be available as a free add‑on during race registration checkout. This allows us to identify how many wristbands are needed in advance and helps streamline Packet Pickup.

​Free wristbands will be available at:

• Friday Packet Pickup
• Saturday at Packet Pickup and the Kids Zone

There is no cost for Kids Zone wristbands.

Kids Zone Activity Limits

To ensure that as many children as possible can participate:

• Sand art, pumpkin painting, and face painting are each limited to one per wristband
• Children may enjoy all three activities, but only one time each

Bounce houses are available for general use, pending availability.

Important Notes for Parents

• All children must wear socks to use the bounce houses
• Parents are strongly encouraged to bring extra socks, as the ground is often damp in the morning
• Children must be supervised by a parent or guardian at all times while in the Kids Zone
  
  

Parking

Not all parking will be free. The Borough now has various pay-to-park spots. Please be mindful that almost all street parking will be subject to a fee through a mobile pay app. This is a fee outside of our control. Some locations that still offer free parking are limited. Please factor in locating free parking when arriving as 500+ people will be all looking for parking simultaneously.
