Available Distances
KARE 11 Family Mile
Gather the family and lace your sneakers for a mile long run around the block.
Half Mile, presented by iHeartRadio Minneapolis
Perfect for kids who have outgrown the toddler trot, but not quite ready to tackle a mile.
Diaper Dash
Even your littlest ones can join in on the fun. Set your little one down several feet [25-50] away from you and have them crawl towards you – their finish line!
Toddler Trot
A 50-yard dash for your toddlers to race to victory!
"My daughter felt so proud to run the mile, earn the medal and go back through the whole post race experience just like I do on marathon day!"
