We are excited to introduce the Rivertown Kids Fun Run! This fun run will be an untimed, competitive run designed to give kids a positive experience and introduction to the sport of running. 
Kids will get to experience the feel of the start line, the sense of accomplishment after completing a significant effort, and the thrill of the finish line...all this without the added pressure of performance. 
Don’t get us wrong, we love to win and love to see people push themselves. This just is not that type of event.

Each participant will get a shirt, a medal, and a bib.

Parents or older siblings are welcome to run with the kids.

Rivertown Races is committed to the safety of our athletes as our first priority.

We will follow all state and local guidelines for healthy and safe outdoor racing.

Studies and experience have shown that outdoor athletic events pose little to no threat to the further spread of COVID-19.  As such, currently, there are no restrictions on outdoor athletic events such as ours.   This is subject to change in the event that future state or local guidelines mandate specific safety precautions.
