About the Hoag Kids Run The OC
This is a school-based fitness program that wraps up with a final mile run in the spring. Kids spend several weeks before race day accumulating miles through games and activities at their own schools, led by volunteer coaches, so by the time the event arrives, they have already done the training together.
The final event is open only to children from participating schools, not to parents or adults registering on their own. If you are not sure whether your child's school is part of the program this year, the race website has a way to check beforehand.
