• Register early! Most races offer discounted registration the earlier you register.
• Make sure the race is stroller friendly if you plan to run with your child in a stroller.
• Be sure to dress for the weather.
• Prepare for the race as a family. Go out for family runs or walks, or just have the kids run.
• Plan to alternate running and walking on the course as needed. On the course set goals to run to a certain landmark.
• If your child is running on their own, have a plan to reconnect after the race.
