Welcome to the MPower Youth Running Festival, sponsored by Farmington Recreation!
Our kids-only races offer youth ages 2-14 an opportunity to experience the joys of road racing, without all of those tall people blocking the view! We have a distance for everyone: from the 0.25-mile Fun Run, to the timed 1-Mile, to the full 5K. These courses are closed to vehicular traffic and are extremely spectator friendly.
