T-Shirts & Bibs:
Register by the new date May 18th to secure a t-shirt. We will make every effort to deliver t-shirts and bibs to schools within CBRM a few days prior to the Youth Run. Otherwise, items may be picked up at Open Hearth Park on race morning, Sunday, June 14, between 8:00 and 9:00 am.

Please note: registrations received after May 18 are not guaranteed a t-shirt. T-shirts must be worn as the outermost layer, and bibs must be clearly visible on the front of the shirt.

Safety & Security:
Run organizers, police, security, and volunteers will be stationed throughout the course to ensure participant safety. One parent or guardian may accompany younger runners. No dogs, scooters, skateboards, or bikes are permitted on the course. Strollers are allowed but must remain to the right at all times.

Post-Run & Child Pick-Up:
Parents/guardians and runners are encouraged to arrange a designated meet-up location after the run. Volunteers wearing yellow or lime green shirts will be available to assist with reuniting runners and parents. Please ensure a parent/guardian’s contact information is written on the back of the child’s bib.

Registration:
$10 + processing fee, which includes a t-shirt, bib, medal, and post-run snack.
