**FREE** Kid's Dash
If your littles are excited to join in the experience, but aren't quite ready to tackle a full 5K, we highly recommend on KID'S DASH! This is a short 100–200-meter sprint prior to the start of the race to give our little ones the opportunity to experience the racing environment without the pressure of a seemingly long, endless course. Dashers run for FREE but can still purchase a t-shirt and a finisher medal as an add-on.
**NEW** 1 Mile Option
Run Different is adding a brand new 1 MILE OPTION to all of our 2026 events! This is perfect for those who are just dipping their toes into the racing experience as well as friends, families, and social group that just want to go for a nice stroll. Our milers will still receive finisher medals and participation shirts; however, this will be an untimed event with no age group awards.
**NEW** Virtual Option
Our 2026 events will now be offering a VIRTUAL RACE OPTION! Select the virtual option when registering and we will ship your shirt and medal directly to you the week of the race!
