About this race

The Historic Irvington Halloween Festival's kids' race! Join us for a 1/8 mile run around Irving Circle Park, just south of the Halloween Festival Street Fair Kids Zone. 

All races will kick off from the arch on South Audubon Road just north of the park. We will be running 5 different heats this year:
Ages 10-12
Ages 7-9
Ages 5-6
Ages 3-4
Ages 2 and under
We will start lining up the first wave around 11:25, and kick off at 11:30. We will begin lining up the next wave to start once the majority of the previous wave is finished. We will start the next wave once the previous wave has completely finished. 

You will need to check in at our packet pickup to get your litttle bat dasher's commemorative bib and pickup any shirts you may have purchased during registration. Packet pickup will be open from 7:30 AM to 11:20 AM in Irving Circle Park in combo with the Vampire Run. You may also pick up your Little Bat Dash bib at the Vampire Run's early packet pickup on Friday 10/24 at Irvington Preparatory Academy from 4-8 PM.
