SALINE Toddler Option
We are pleased to once again offer separate registration for our 5 & under crowd for the LOCAL EVENT IN SALINE ONLY — not valid for the Virtual Race. This registration includes a unique, toddler-only shirt. (NOTE: This is not the same shirt as the event shirt!) We have a limited number of toddler shirts in each size (2T, 3T, 4T, 5T, or Y-XS) that are available while supplies last on a first come, first served basis. If we are sold out of your child's size or you do not want a toddler shirt, you can still register them to participate and select None for your t-shirt option. * Pricing valid for ages 5 and under only. BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! At 1:45pm, there will be a Tot Sprint on the main Hornet Stadium football field for our younger crowd! Please note that NO DOGS are permitted at this event!
