About the Kilometers For The Kids 10K, 5K and Fun Run
The in-person race starts at the Old Well and winds through the surrounding campus, so the route has a natural sense of place. Expect university grounds underfoot, with paths and open areas that come with that kind of setting. A virtual option lets people participate from wherever they are.
Packet pickup runs across several days before the race at spots on or near campus, including a local bagel shop on the final pickup day. If none of those windows work, packets are available at the Old Well on race morning, and arriving a bit early is recommended if you plan to do that.
