Free 1K Kids Run Will Be Part of Tarantula Run This Year

A free 1K Kids Race will be a big part of the Tarantula Run this year.

The race will be open to all kids who feel like running, and the course will be flat. No matter how old you are, you can be a kid and participate.

The 1K course includes a tour around the Kellogg Creek Picnic Area, and then a run out to the last stretch of the three races. On race day, the course will be chalked...you can't get lost.

All kids entered will get a "Number 1" number, and a ribbon for participating. If you're coming out just for the kids race, you'll get into the Los Vaqueros Watershed for free on race day. Just tell the person at the gate you're coming out for the race.

We expect to start the Kids 1K race at 9:30 a.m., so get to Los Vaqueros at least a half-hour early to sign up.

We did this last year, and it was a lot of fun.
