Distance
Two types of courses will make up the kids' race.
Ages 3-5 - Drag race from start point (11th street) to finish line. This group starts 1st. Race officials will walk the pack to the start line.
Ages 6-7 - Drag race from start point (11th street) to finish line. This group starts 2nd. Race officials will walk the pack to the start line.
Ages 8-9 - One lap from start/finish line. This group starts last. Roll to start line.
Ages 10-11 - One lap from start/finish line. This group starts 3rd. Roll to start line.
Note: 8-9 & 10-11 age groups will be on the course at the same time. Older kids go first since they are a little faster. Once racers are finished, please clear the course.
Start Times
All of the kids races will take place before the pro event. Ages 3 - 5 and 6 - 7 will start at 11:40pm and 8 - 9 and 10 - 11 will start at 12:00pm. Awards immediately following the last kids race at the main stage.
Medals & Trophies
1st place in each category will receive a trophy. Medals for 2nd through 5th place.

9:00 AM and will be located at the corner of 11th Street just north
of Pennsylvania Avenue. We expect a full race and early registration is
highly recommended. ALL RACE REGISTRANTS MUST CHECK IN AT THE
REGISTRATION DESK. All kids race for free.
TWO rules:
1) have fun
2) rubber on the road at all times
