This is a free 13 week children's fun running program for the Anderson and surrounding area communities.

All races are on Tuesdays at 6:00pm. We are located at the Alex Pike Park at Shadyside Park. Address is 1320 Alexandria Pike, Anderson, IN 46012. Next to the children's playground.

We offer a timed 1/4 mile race for under 5 yrs. And a 1 mile race for those who can run a mile. Parents are welcome and encouraged to run with their child either distance.

We belong to the Road Runners Club of America for our insurance program. They require that we have a signed waiver from participants. Registering here allows the race director to easily assimilate participants and record your child's finish time each week. You only need to sign the waiver one time during the season. Parents, please look at the opportunities to Volunteer. The tab on the left outlines where we can use your help. We thank you in advance!
