Get ready for the MPower Youth Running Festival, sponsored by Farmington Recreation! This kids-only racing event gives young runners ages 2–14 a chance to experience the excitement of race day, without all those tall people blocking the view!
There's a distance for everyone, from the 0.25-mile Fun Run (ages 2–8), to the timed 1-Mile (ages 5–14), to the full 5K (ages 6–14).
All races take place on courses closed to traffic, with plenty of opportunities for family and friends to cheer. Local high school runners will join our 1-Mile and 5K participants as mentor runners, offering encouragement along the way.
Every participant receives a finisher's medal, MPower bag, and post-race refreshments. Professional chip timing and online results add to the race-day experience.
Whether it's their first race or their next personal best, come celebrate the joy of running with us!
