LA Kids Run

It will start and end at the main event start line at Dodger Stadium. It’s a point to point, and kids will run from the start line directly to the main event finish line.

Kids can start lining up at 9:15AM for warm ups and announcements. The run begins at 9:30AM.

Yes, one medal per registered participant who finishes.

Children will be sent out in waves by age group - oldest in front, youngest in back – every 5 minutes. By sending the kids in groups by age, we make it a more safe and fun experience. Parents are encouraged to run with children 6 and under. • Wave 1 is for children 7-8 years old • Wave 2 is for children 5-6 years old • Wave 3 is for children 4 and under.

Yes, they are welcome to run in the same wave together - it's up to you as the parent to decide which is the more appropriate wave. Children with less running experience will likely feel more comfortable with a younger age group that is a bit slower.

Each child will be given a participant race bib that must be pinned to the front of their clothing. There will be a matching “parent bib” for one parent to either wear or hold onto if they are on the course and when they leave the finish area with their child.

We love when parents run with their kids and are welcome them to run in any of the waves. We recommend a parent or guardian run with children 6 years and under. Please wear your “Parent Bib” when on the course.

If your child is in Wave 1 (7-8 years old) and is comfortable running without you, parents and spectators will be able to view the finish line from the side lines. Parents can reunite with children running solo in the enclosed reunion area – they should be prepared to show the tear tag matching the child’s race number to enter and exit the area.

Once your child has crossed the finish line they will be directed into the Kids Reunion Corral next to the finish line. This is where spectating parents may reunite with their children.

LA Kids Run participants may pick up their bibs on Friday, March 17 or race morning, Saturday, March 18. Please pick up your child’s bib by 9am on Saturday.

Take time before the Kids Run to discuss your plan – will you run with your child or meet them at the finish line? Write your cell number on the back of your child's bib. If you need help finding each other, come to the announcer’s stage or locate a staff person.
