With close to 1,500 participants each year, our Wednesday Night at the Races series has become one of our most popular Young Athletes Foundation (YAF) programs! Helping at a young age to build a love of running, these races are also central to our mission of providing pathways and opportunities for our community’s children to live healthy and active lifestyles.
The Wednesday Night at the Races series is FREE and open to any child ages 14 & under. Whether it’s your child’s first-ever race or they’ve just fallen in love with running, we’d love to see them at our next event!
In-person check-in will start at 5:00 PM.
The races will start at 6:00 p.m. on each of the dates listed below. Every participant is a champion and will receive a ribbon and snacks at the end of their event. All sites are wheelchair and adaptive participant accessible. Please see a race official when you arrive.
