A fun and fitness day for the kids! The Austin Wylie May Day Run is great for kids up to 12 years of age. It is also a super way for schools and clubs to raise funds for their own activity programs. Light post race refreshments await everyone, along with a participant kit, a participation medal, race certificate, and a chance at one of the many draw prizes.

The run is traffic free through a park and along sidewalks. Bring Mom and Dad too, because you need a parent/guardian with you to enter. They can jog-a-long with you for free.
