The Move Movement Kid’s Running Series is a set of 4 races held at Barboursville Park on Sunday afternoons for kids age 2 up to 4th graders. The goal of the MMKRS is to make running fun! We want to provide an enjoyable outlet for kids to release some energy and get their bodies moving. 

​

Races will run on a rolling schedule beginning at 3:30pm. Boys and girls will race together (unless there are more than 20 kids in an age group). Race distances increase with age and kids will run longer in the second half of the season. See chart at bottom of page for race distances.

​

Races will be run in the grass or turf. Kids should wear tennis shoes. Spikes / cleats are not allowed.

​
