HOW IT WORKS

From registration to the finish line in five simple steps.

1

Kid Is Identified & Registered

A parent, teacher, or community partner registers a child through our simple online form. Any child ages 8-17 who is new to running can be nominated.

2

We Verify Eligibility

Our team reviews each registration to confirm the child is between 8 and 17 years old and has not previously participated in organized running events.

3

Kid Gets Fitted for Gear

We provide each child with a brand-new pair of running shoes, two shirts, and two pairs of shorts -- everything they need to train and race with confidence.

4

Kid Is Connected with a Local Race

We match the child with an upcoming local event -- whether it is a 5K, duathlon, or triathlon -- and handle the registration fees so there is no cost to the family.

5

Kid Crosses the Finish Line!

Race day arrives and the child experiences the joy and pride of completing their very first race. They earn a medal and memories that last a lifetime.
