This non-competitive race allows children ages 3 – 10 the fun opportunity to get active. Run distances are based on children’s age. All participants will receive a goodie bag, a participant bib, and a finisher’s medal. The Rookie Run is a great way to introduce kids to the basics of running and enjoy the excitement of a race – including the start and finish line production, a massive cheering section, a trip through runner’s service, and the occasional celebrity sighting!
