Kid Friendly Race Tips

If you are running with your kids, we have a few tips:

  • 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.

Check out our list of races below to find events that include kids races near me.
