Why do we have the kids races?: Part of the mission of the Festival of Miles Foundation is to showcase our great sport at all levels and what better way to do that than to get as many children as we possibly can involved in the event! Also, what better way to get them hooked on running than to compete in front of thousands of fans and then stick around to watch some the best athletes in the world compete on the very same track they did!! With that in mind we offer a total of three races for children during the course of the evening. Youth Mile Races: Sign-up Online HERE or download an entry form HERE. The GO! St. Louis healthy kids mile race is open to any 1st - 8th grade boy or girl. Boys who have run under 5:20 and girls who have run under 6:00 are eligible to compete in the Invitational Boys and Girls Races later in the evening. Email Ben at ben@bigriverrunning.com with questions.
Winners of each race will receive awards. All youth participants will receive an official Festival of Miles race bib and an Under Armour tech shirt (pictured below)
