The Kids Fun Run is free for children 9 and under. All finishers receive a medal, refreshments, and a goodie bag. Free t-shirts are available to the first 100 entrants; sizes are distributed first come, first serve, and a participant must finish to receive a shirt. Organizers note pre-registration for the Kids Fun Run and that packet pickup for that race is on race day at the Reagan Home.
Packet pickup is also offered before the event at the Dixon YMCA, and in-person registration is available during that pickup. Credit card and debit payment options are accepted on the listed event days.
Awards are presented after the race. Overall winners do not receive age group awards; a unique award is given to the first overall male and female. Age-group awards go to the first three places in each listed division, and there are masters overall awards for male and female competitors.
Walkers are welcome and will be asked to line up behind runners. For timing purposes, official times are available for persons finishing within 1 hour and 15 minutes. No strollers or pets are allowed in the 5K. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
