Kids Can 13.1 Too

The Kids 13.1 Program​

The Kids 13.1 Program is a great way for kids 5 to 12 to participate in the Rochester Regional Health Flower City Challenge. As a participant, your child will run or walk the distance of a half marathon (13.1 miles) over the course of three weeks.  With the final 1/2 mile culminating at the race on April 24th where they will earn their medal.

Kickoff Sunday, April 3rd, 2022 at 10AM at Fleet Feet @ The Armory

How It Works

At the Kids 13.1 Program Kickoff (Sunday, April 3rd at 10 am at Fleet Feet @ The Armory (155 Culver Rd, Rochester, NY 14620)), the first 1/2 will be run together. This is where you will receive everything you need to complete the Kids 13.1 Program. Then using the honor system, your child will track the miles they run or walk (in 1/4 mile increments) on their official tracking form. Their goal should be to complete 4ish miles each week for a total of 12ish miles, such that the final 1/2 mile is with everyone on race day.

To keep them motivated along the way, they can bring their tracking form into any Fleet Feet location (Armory: 155 Culver Road | Ridgeway: 2522 Ridgeway Avenue | Victor: 237 High Street Ext) to receive a high five and a toe token once they've reached certain milestones. These rewards are available at any time the stores are open.

On Sunday, April 24th at 10:30am we'll gather at the Blue Cross Arena (corner of Exchange and Court) to complete the final 1/2 miles of their half marathon (13.1 program). Once they cross the official Rochester Regional Health Flower City Half Marathon finish line, they'll receive their official Kids 13.1 Half Marathon finisher's medal!
