The Start Line is located outside of Lot R outside of Nissan Stadium. This will serve as the staging area for all participants prior to the start of the races. On race day, staff will guide participants to their starting areas at the appropriate times. Please plan on arriving at least an hour before your start time. Expect traffic and delays.
Participants will be assigned a color group based on their grade level and distance. This will be printed on each bib.
All kids will line up at the corresponding colored sign to their bib color group, and will be corralled to the start line
as a group. When the 1/2-mile begins, we will begin with the red group, then the blue group will start, and lastly the
yellow group. When we begin the 1-mile, the color groups will go as follows: green, orange, pink, brown, teal, purple.
Once a child crosses the Finish Line, they will enter the Secure Zone – a safe, fenced off area for race participants only. There, they will be escorted by volunteers and receive water, healthy post-race refreshments and a colorful finisher’s medal. Once they exit the Secure Zone they may not return.
For the safety of the children, a kid check system will be enforced at the secure zone exit for all participants. Each race number will have a duplicate race number for the adult bib. At the secure zone exit, kids will ONLY be released to the parent or guardian who is wearing the matching race number. Parents, please plan to meet your child at the secure zone exit.
Please Note: Parents and spectators will not be permitted to enter the Secure Zone unless they have run the entire course as an escort. This area is fenced off and is for participants only. Parents can watch the finish at the fencing and retrieve their child at the exit of the Secure Zone. Once again, a matching bib number must be shown by the parent/guardian
