Fast Rabbits Summer Nights Race Series

🌟 Welcome to Fast Rabbits Summer Nights Race Series!

With our partners at Asics and Race Penguin, we':re happy to bring back The Fast Rabbits Summer Nights Race Series!

Presented by: Asics and Race Penguin

Come race with Fast Rabbits all summer long!

One of the most frequent questions we get about Youth Running is "What are some kid-friendly races that have a lot of kids running?"

While we can always recommend any Race Penguin event, we thought to ourselves: there should be a kid-centered event. One where kids could come and try out running events if they were new to it, or challenge themselves to run further or faster than they had before. Maybe even get ready for their cross country season in the fall!

🏃‍♂️ What Is This?

A three event race series to take place in June, July, and August!

EXACT DATES WILL BE ANNOUNCED SHORTLY

The races will start promptly at 6:00pm in the evening, so parents and kiddos can get to the races on time!

📍 Where Are the Races?

We have a loop course at Glacier Ridge Metro Park.

• Starting Point: The races will start at the Dog Park area of the park (Google Maps pin here)
• Course Map: (1 and 2 mile options) available here
• Course Map: (1/2 mile option) available here

💰 How Much Does It Cost?

Individual events are $15.00 each, with an optional t-shirt add-on of $10.

If you sign up for all 3 events at once the cost is $40.

That's a great deal for a summer of racing!

🎉 Additional Information

• Goodies: Our partners at Asics will be at each event to hand out fun goodies and some snacks for pre/post run.
• Popsicles: We':ll have some popsicles for after the race for athletes and parents to enjoy!

🗓️ On-Site Registration and Packet Pick-Up

We will have race day registration, and packet pick-up!

If you are registering on-site on race day, be sure to bring your phone and/or credit card as our friends at Race Penguin will have a QR code to sign up using your phone.

🎽 Choosing Distances

Sure thing! We understand that young athletes have their ups and downs just like adult athletes. It':s best to talk with your athlete multiple times before race day to see what distance they':d like to run.

Athletes should try to make their decision before the race if possible, but if they need to switch after doing one loop they need to immediately tell the Race Penguin timing staff so we can ensure correct results.
