The NASA Federal Halloween Young Run is a special, non-competitive running event just for kids 12 and under. It's the largest event of its kind in the region and one of the largest kids runs in the nation. It is designed for every kid to be a winner and to discover that Running is Fun! We offer three different race distances. The more popular distances are further divided by age group. Set your goal and pick your race - 1mile, 1/2 mile, or 1/4 mile.
Because of the large number of runners, you may only register for one event. There will be multiple heats for each event. Each race is non-competitive – the objective is to run the distance and have fun. Starting times for all but the first event are approximate, so be sure you are ready well before these times. The event will be held rain or shine. However, MCRRC reserves the right to cancel the event at anytime it judges the weather to be unsafe.
The entire event takes place on West Gude Drive at Rt. 355 in Rockville. Warn-up exercises, led by an instructor, are offered to all participants from 8:20am to 8:45am. Each runner will receive an individual race bib in their goody bags. The bibs should be worn in the front of their outer most layer of clothing. Post race refreshments are available to all registered runners.
