5K: No age limit
Half-Marathon: Minimum age is 13
Youth runners need to be those respective ages on race day to be eligible to register and compete. Instituting minimum ages was a strong recommendation of our insurance carrier, which we arrange through the Road Runners Clubs of America (RRCA). The minimum ages were established from discussions with medical professionals and youth coaches with the intent to (1) keep young runners safe and healthy and (2) provide them with a positive experience that will encourage them to continue running.
We understand that some young runners are able to satisfactorily complete the 13.1 mile course. Many have in the past years.
Nonetheless, we are inclined to follow the recommendations of the RRCA in this matter. Thank you for understanding!
