Where It Is
All events take place on the paved trails of Bohrer Park in the City of Gaithersburg. First race starts at 8:30 am. Children do not run on roads. There is a ‘rabbit’ runner who will lead the children in each event. There is a ‘sweeper’ who follows behind for each event insuring everyone makes it back to the finish line. There are multiple opportunities to see and cheer for the runners.
Bring the kids out for this very fun event!
