  • SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT SAFETY! Parents, this is not a closed or fenced off course. The course will be well marked and staffed with volunteers, but it is your responsibility to make sure your child makes it to the finish line. Parents are welcome to run with their kids for free and help encourage them and take pictures along the way. Please be a responsible parent and know your child's limits and capabilities. The kid's race is not 15-minutes of baby-sitting. Your child is still your responsibility. Help us to ensure this is a safe and positive experience for all our Windermere kids 1-mile participants.

The kids 1/2-mile course runs in a circle in Riverfront Park finishing at the clock tower. There will be water available at the finish line. All kids will start together at 11:00am. Parents are encouraged to run with their child.
