The Kids Races will take place on August 21, 2016

The Tiny Tot Trot is a short-distance race designed especially for children age 5 and under. To ensure the safety of the children, there will be races for each age group and gender. The Junior Races are based on age, and the event will have age- and gender-based races for children ages 6-11. Junior races will follow the Tiny Tot Trot, which begins at 1 p.m. All competitors in both races get a T-shirt and a medal. Distances are according to age 3 and under — 50 meters 4 & 5 — 100 meters 6 & 7 — 200 meters 8 & 9 — 400 meters 10 & 11 — 800 meters. You can pick up your race packet and register from 2 until 9 p.m. the Friday before the race at the Parkersburg Municipal Building. You also can pick up your packet at the stadium before the races. You also can register beginning at 11 a.m. on Sunday prior to the kids races. You should register early though to assure we have a T-shirt in your size.
