○ 2 yr olds to 2nd bucket (400m total)

○ 3 yr olds to 3rd bucket (600m total))

○ 4 yr olds to 4th bucket (800m total)

○ 5 and older run full 1k course out to their bucket and back to Town Hall

“Price of Admission” will still be a box of cereal to donate to Footprints. First 75 kids to turn in their donation and completed paperwork will receive a t-shirt with this year’s new logo.

Every child participating will receive a medal at the end along with water and fruit snacks.
