Kid's Loopy Race: Choose from 30 minutes or 1 hour. Kid’s will complete as many loops around the baseball field as they can within their selected time. Kids can take as many breaks as they choose, and the course will run through the snack station for treats as they go (just like the adults). All of the kids will finish together in a special One Step Closer kid’s race celebration. Each Kid’s Race runner will be awarded a One Step Closer medal upon completion.
