Races
Front and center at JackFest are the Kids' Races! We'll have footraces of varying distances on the gently rolling grass fields of Foxfield. The race options are as follows (kids can sign up for more than one race), and you can register for them here. One of our big goals this year was to drop the entry fee, and to allow each child the option to run up to three races for $10 total.
1:00pm Superhero Dash ($10, or FREE if registered for the One Mile Run)
100 Meters: 2 & Under, 3 Years Old, 4 Years Old, 5 Years Old
200 Meters: 6 Years Old, 7 Years Old, 8 Years Old, 9 Years Old, 10 Years Old, 11 Years Old, 12 Years Old
Each participant will receive a race number, a limited edition light blue JackFest drawstring backpack and a finisher's ribbon. If participants prefer, we still have a few leftover JackFest superhero capes (royal blue) from last year. Please reach out to jackfestcville@gmail.com if you'd like to swap the cape in after registering.
Registration in this event allows for free entry into the One Mile Run and/or Child-Parent 2x200 Meter Relay.
~1:30pm Kids' Mighty One Mile Run ($10, or FREE if registered for the Superhero Dash)
This event is open to kids of all ages, and will be comprised of 8 laps of our 200 meter flat grass track. Note: This is a different course than last year and is much flatter. We will almost certainly have to separate this race into different sections based on the age of the participants, and will make that decision (and communicate it to everyone) the week of the race.
Registration will include a race number, a limited edition light blue JackFest drawstring backpack, and a finisher's ribbon.
Registration in this event allows for free entry into the Child-Parent 2x200 Meter Relay and/or the Superhero Dash.
~2:00pm The Child-Parent 2x200 Meter Relay Race (FREE)
This race will be FREE and will take place immediately after the kids' races. Any child who has already registered for the Superhero Dash OR the Kid's One Mile Run has the additional opportunity to compete in this Child-Parent relay. We will divide this race up into sections based on the age of the child, and will have multiple sections depending on registration numbers. In each race, the child will always run the first leg, and the parent will run second.
