Ashley Read, Neighbor

Is your child the next major up-and-coming runner? Is it time for their racing debut? The Runner's World Half-Marathon & Running Festival is hosting races especially for these runner's ages 2-12. The race options include:

  • 2-5 years old: 1/4 mile
  • 6-8 years old: 1/2 mile
  • 9-12 years old: 1 mile
  • Competitive Kids Race: 1 mile
The Competitive Kids Race is for children aged 12 or younger who can demonstrate the ability to run a 6:00-minute mile for boys, or a 6:30-minute mile for girls. Runner's World will make a donation to the school of the top three boys and girls.

The race's start location and packet pickup will be at the Runner's World Health and Fitness Expo, located at:

ArtsQuest at Steelstacks Campus
101 Founders Way
Bethlehem, PA 18015

The suggested donation for runner's is $5. Online registration can be found at the Runner's World website.
