Every participating child is eligible for all applicable track and field events, giving everyone a chance to take part in competitive events in a positive environment. All ages will compete in track sprint events, with 400 yards being the longest distance event. Athletes age 7-and-up can participate in the long jump, while those 9-and-up can also do high jump and shotput. The event costs $30 and includes a T-shirt and participation ribbons.
