About the CAPES For Kids Run
The race starts at an elementary school and is built around a cause: raising awareness for child abuse prevention and supporting local services for affected children and families. Runners are encouraged to dress as a superhero, and a costume contest with prizes runs alongside the main event. Well-behaved dogs are welcome as long as they stay leashed.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at a local support center for abused children, with race-morning pickup available for those who need it. The start area is at the school, and organizers ask everyone to arrive early to allow time for parking and check-in before the gun goes off.

The CAPES For Kids Run has been held every year since at least 2025. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
