On the odd weeks, kids do a 50YD, 220YD and half mile; adults do a mile. On even weeks, kids do 100YD, 440YD and mile; adults do a 5K. The kids are split into group by age into two-year increments and sex. The first group is the 3&4 year old girls in the 50, followed by the 3&4-year-old boys in the 50. We continue in this way up through high school age. The adult event usually starts between 7 and 7:15 PM.
    Entry is free, but a jar is put out if you would like to make a donation to help us defray the costs of refreshments and ribbons.
    Award ribbons are given to all children participating and we provide free refreshments. Records are kept and the names of the first three in each event are published in the Marshfield Mariner newspaper.
