The KiDS ROCK series has provided you with a free, fun, and easy-to-use Training Guide to help runners of all abilities complete their first marathon!

Race bib must be visible and worn on the front and outside of all clothing during the entire race.
Race bibs are non-transferable and may only be worn by the participant to whom it is assigned.
Do NOT alter the race bib in any way.
Securely fasten the race bib to the front of your child’s running outfit with provided safety pins.
One parent/guardian must also display the matching bib in the front if you are running with your child

It is strongly suggested that two parents, adults or guardians accompany the participant: One adult to see the child off at the start and the other to meet the child at the finish. Only one parent/guardian is permitted to
run with their child during the race.
No strollers, roller blades, pets, skateboards, bikes or scooters are allowed on the course.
Plan ahead. Select a meeting place and time with your child before their race in case you become separated.
Children should be able to complete the 1-mile run on their own. The course is safe and secure. Police and trained medical staff will be present. If you do not feel comfortable having your child run alone, you many
accompany him or her. For the safety of all children, you must start towards the back of the pack. Please
be extremely cautious and aware of your surroundings.
The refreshments at the finish line Secure Zone are for children only. If you are accompanying your child, please be sensitive to the needs of the participants and refrain from taking food or drink from this area.

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

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.
