KIDS RACE - TBA

Our kids' race this year will be an 500m out-and-back race from the starting line.

If you have a child under 13 who is a skilled runner and used to racing longer distances, we allow them to race in the 8 KM distance with parental consent. We ask that you please pre-run the course in advance with your child and ensure that both you and your child are confident that they will be able to complete the course on race day, and highly recommend completing the course with them. If the child is under 8 years old, a parent or guardian must run the race with the child in order to be eligible for them to race.

If your child is signing up for the 8 KM distance, please fill out the U-19 Waiver HERE.
