Kids Main Street Mile details!
Where do I get my child's race packet (bib, t-shirt, and swag)?
Where is the Kids Main Street Mile start and finish? Kid’s run will start and finish at the intersection of Laurel and Main Streets in downtown Columbia.
When does it start?
- April 12, 2024 at 6:45pm (we recommend arriving early to find parking).
- We will run the kids race in waves based on child’s age (Bib colors: YELLOW= 10 and up, GREEN= 7-9 year old, PURPLE= 6 and under). Please make sure your child gets in the correct color section to run with kids of the same age as him/her.
What to bring: all kid’s run participants must be wearing a kid’s run bib. Participants do not have to wear the race shirt. Parents wishing to run with their child do not need a bib.
Where to park: Parking is available in the downtown garages or at meters (must pay until 6pm) along side streets. A map will be available closer to the event.
Parents: We encourage you to run with your children, but you can also stand along the course and cheer them on.
PLEASE NOTE: We will have several sponsor vendor tables, balloon artists, face painters, water, snacks, and more. Stick around to support our sponsors as well as watch the adults run the same mile course right after the kids.
The Course Map is below. Please note that the kids’ will run down and back on Main Street, starting and finishing at Laurel Street.
