Start date: 04/01/2023
Come out to the first ever kids only trail race in Flagler County! This race is part of the "Where the Wild Ones Run" kid trail running series. Check out the website for all the info! Graham Swamp Preserve on Colbert Lane (mountain bike & hiking trails). NOT Graham Swamp on Old Kings Rd.
We believe that kids should experience the joy, challenge and accomplishment of running through the woods. We also believe that doing something hard, like running, can be fun and rewarding. Trail running can be extra special and fun and we believe kids appreciate and benefit from the wildness of it.
FOR NOW WE WILL ONLY BE LAUNCHING ONE RACE TO GET THINGS KICKED OFF. THEN WE WILL ADD THE OTHERS AND FORM THE SERIES. FINDING 3 DATES THAT WORKED FOR THE PARKS AND KIDS SCHEDULES HAS BEEN CHALLENGING SO WE JUST NEED TO GET STARTED! WE'LL HAVE OUR FIRST EVENT AT GRAHAM SWAMP ON APRIL 1ST.

If you would like to sponsor a child, please contact carrie@elevateeventcompany.com or choose the "sponsor a wild one" option when registering your child. We are also collecting donations and raising funds to purchase new running shoes for kids that need financial help. We believe every child should have access to proper running shoes. Running can shape and change lives, we want to eliminate obstacles of getting started.
