About the Sam's KIDS 5K
The race runs in Dewey Beach, a small shore town, and the name ties it to a kids-focused cause. The course is a standard road distance along the beach community, so expect flat pavement with salt air and whatever morning beach crowd is already out. It draws families as much as competitive runners.
Bib pickup happens the morning of the race at The Lighthouse Restaurant, which also serves as the gathering point before the start. Arrive with enough time to get your number before the field heads out.
