Rivertown Kids (1 mile fun run)
We are excited to bring back our Rivertown Kids Fun Run! This fun run will be an untimed, competitive run designed to give kids a positive experience and introduction to the sport of running. Kids will get to experience the feel of the start line, the sense of accomplishment after completing a significant effort, and the thrill of the finish line...all this without the added pressure of performance. Don’t get us wrong, we love to win and love to see people push themselves. This just is not that type of event. Each participant will get a shirt, a medal, and a bib. Parents or older siblings are welcome to run with the kids.
