While the “big people” are off running up and down mountains, kids under 12 can participate in a free race around the nature walk beside the Visitor Centre. Children under 12 years of age are welcome to participate in the fun, and those under 5 years of age may be assisted by an adult.

There will be a one lap race (distance of 3/4 of a kilometre), which will start at about 12:00 noon. Sign-up for this event will close at 11:30 am.

There is no pre-registration for this free event – just check-in at the sign-up table in the Start/Finish area on race day to be entered. Parents are welcome to run along with (and even assist a bit) the younger kids.
