Course, logistics, awards and cause

The Kids Sprint is run entirely inside Hampstead Kiwanis Park. The 8K and 2-Mile start in the park and include sections on pavement, through neighborhoods, near Harbour Village Marina and along the Intracoastal Waterway. Both longer courses turn back at the halfway point and retrace the route into the park. The course is stroller and wheelchair friendly; dogs are not permitted in the park.

There are two main parking lots: a paved lot at the main entrance and a gravel lot near Country Club Drive. Kiwanis Club members will help direct parking. Awards include trophies for the top three finishers in age categories and specific age-group awards for the 8K and 2-Mile; the Kids Sprint recognizes the top boy and top girl. Proceeds support Hampstead Kiwanis Park and its continued development. Registration options include online, at pre-race packet pickup, or using a provided QR code.
