All youth will receive a snack and event token for their participation. The event will not be timed.

The MedExpress Kids Run Clubs 1 Mile Dash will begin at 9:30 am after the singing of the National Anthem.
The 5K start line will be at the Woodrow Wilson High School track. Runners will line up first and then walkers to proceed towards the YMCA Soccer Complex. There will be a water station at the turn around point where participants will proceed back to the high school.
The competition is not in the walk or run itself, but in the number of participants you have on your team.
Team categories include:
You will designate your team at morning registration. Recognition will be given to the team with the most participants.
Honorable mention categories for individuals and teams:
