It’s a joyful, high-energy experience where little ones can cross the finish line to the cheers of friends and family.

The first 50 registered participants of the Mini K will receive a special finisher medal—so don’t wait to sign up! Let’s make it a day to remember filled with smiles, movement, and celebration. Come cheer them on and help create a lasting memory at the Dream Big Mini K!
