Duke Park, Durham

A 5-week, fun-focused running program for kids aged 4-10 years old!

Kids Run Durham introduces kids to running in the form of a loosely structured “track meet” that allows participants to explore distances ranging from 100 meters to 1 mile. Participants will receive a personalized race bib, finishing time each week, and a custom Kids Run Durham tee!

Each session features a group dynamic warm up, and we invite local experts to teach kids tips and techniques for building healthy, active habits. Guest speakers address a variety of topics relevant to health, wellness, and running such as physical activity, nutrition, sportsmanship, and proper running form.

**We offer a 3pm and 4pm session, which you can select when you register!

Race Benefactor

As a non-profit serving impoverished and homeless children and families, Note in the Pocket started with a simple mission: to clothe children with dignity and love. Note in the Pocket believes that it is unacceptable that children are limited in their educational and social development because they do not have appropriate clothes for school.

We have a goal to clothe 12,00 children and families from across the Triangle in 2026. Proceeds from this event help to make that happen.
