The 2023 Kid's race is a Monster dash!  Costumes are encouraged!

1/2 Mile Kids' Race

The kids' race will take place on the south side of the Bridge near the new and improved Tommyknocker Playland. This will allow kids to run and play in the same place, and will allow parents to watch the children as they run. Our kids' race is designed to introduce younger children to the concept of a running race. The course is clearly marked and staffed by volunteers. All participants will receive a medal for their efforts. 

Waivers for each participant must be signed by a parent or legal guardian in advance of the race. 

toddler trot

The toddler trot is a quick 50-yard dash on a straightaway. Parents are required to attend and encouraged to whoop and holler! The race will be held just before the 1/2 Mile Kids' Race (at about 10:00 a.m.). The race will take place just past the entrance to the Tommyknocker Playland, behind the bandstand. 

Waivers for each participant must be signed by a parent or legal guardian in advance of the race.  Toddler and Kid's Race Waiver

Please note that all children who are participating in a race (Toddler Trot or Kids' Race) get into the Royal Gorge Bridge & Park for FREE. (All children must be accompanied by an adult - either a race participant or a family member who has paid the entry fee.)
