The Kids get their own day to run at the Junior Kook Run!  The Ecke YMCA will come alive on Saturday, February 8th for a Kooky Race for Kids ages 3-11. Family and friends can cheer their kids along as they run distances that start at a 400 yds and go up to 1 mile on a closed and marked course hosted entirely at the YMCA.  The adults get their day on Sunday, and Saturday is all about our Junior Kooks! 

 

Immediately following the final event, Junior Kooks can rock out and celebrate at the Junior Kook concert brought to you by Bach to Rock!  Come out for the run and stick around for a Rockin' celebration!

Race Course

 

The race starts in the south parking lot of the YMCA (at packet pickup/registration expo) and follows a spacious closed course along the back of the soccer arenas and camp areas before turning around at the North Parking Lot and running back towards the start.  This will create a loop to allow the event to stretch the various distances from 400 yds to 1 mile. The start line will act as the finisher's line with our Junior Kooks returning to finish at the south parking lot and the packet pickup/registration expo.
