At Kids’ Day you can: participate in drumming workshops, learn Bollywood-style dancing, paint and take home your very own masterpiece, race mini cars, make sashes with the 500 Festival Princesses, and so much more!

Ready to get moving? Make sure you register your mini runner for the Salesforce & JPMorgan Chase 500 Festival Rookie Run, which takes place during Kids’ Day. 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!
