The kids race is open to children 12 and under.

  • The REGULAR course is approximately 1.1 miles (2k) and is for kids 7-12 years old.
  • The SHORT course is 0.6 miles (1k) and is for kids 3-6 years old.

Both courses are entirely on the farm and are run over a combination of farm roads, meadow, and single track trail. There is no pavement on the kids (or 5 mile) courses. There will most likely be some mud (depending on the pre-race rainfall) on parts of the course but there are no water crossings.

Parents are welcome to run with younger children and we strongly encourage parents to run with those 3-5 years old.

The course will be very well marked and there will be course marshalls to direct the racers so they don’t go off track.

There will be age awards to the top finishers for each age (i.e. top 3 year old boy, top 3 year old girl, top 4 year old boy, top 4 year old girl, etc.) and every child who participates will receive a ribbon with a medal.

In addition, every kid finisher will receive $2 in “Farm Bucks” that can be spent at the adjacent Muscoot Farmer’s Market.

The kids races will begin at 8:30 AM, 30 minutes before the 5 mile trail race.  The two age groups will leave in 2 different heats with the 7-12 year olds starting at 8:30am and the 3-6 year olds starting 4-5 minutes later.  The ending of the kids race will be very close to the start of the main event 5 mile trail race.

The intent is to have the kids race finished before the 5 mile race begins so parents can see their kids race and finish.
