The Kid's Dash is specifically designated for children aged 10 and under, with a free participation option available for children who do not require event merchandise.
Registered participants for the timed and untimed distances receive a designer shirt, a custom bib, and a finisher medal. To ensure a shirt is included in the registration, individuals must sign up by midnight on the Thursday two weeks prior to the event date.
