We are thrilled to announce the a full series of Kids' Races & Events for 2022. Many of them you will recognize as already established events, while many are newly created ones we can't wait to debut. The demand for more youth events has been present for many years, and we hope to slowly expand on this annual series over time. As always, our goal of providing fun, age appropriate opportunities that introduce kids to running is first and foremost, all the while partnering with volunteer-led events that directly benefit various non-profit organizations here in our community.
