FAST FACTS
What is included with a Lamar Tiger Kids Mile registration? Each kid will receive an ATHLETE bib that includes an electronic timing chip and a matching PARENT bib to be worn by the parent or guardian responsible for checking the kid out after the race. Each kid will receive an event T-shirt (kid's sizing available) and a Finisher's Medal when he or she crosses the finish line.
Are their age limits? The Lamar Tiger Kids Mile is for children 12 years old and under. Kids older than 12 should register for the 5K. Both distances are friendly to walking. Race staff attend a "half-mile" turnaround on the Lamar Tiger Kids Mile to let the little kids get to the finish line quicker if they like.
Can parents run with their children? Parents are allowed to run with their children in the Tiger Kids Mile, but are encouraged to let their little ones accomplish the race on their own. The course is closely monitored and secured by race officials and local police. Parents running the 5K with their kids need to be registered runners and have their own bib.
Finish Line & Kid Checkout: Only race personnel and kids participating in the race will be allowed in the finish chute and checkout areas. Once you see that your kid has crossed the finish line and entered the checkout area you can move to the exit where race officials will be checking kids out. Show your PARENT bib to the attendant and claim your child. If you have multiple kids in different waves, you will need to move away from the checkout area and return once your next kid is ready to be checked out.
If you do not have the bib that matches your kid’s bib, the attendant will look to verify the information you wrote on the back of the bib with your photo ID. If you can’t produce a photo ID or did not complete the information on the back of the bib, the attendant will direct you to one of our police partners who will work with you and the kid to turn over custody.
Please wear your PARENT bib and complete the information on the back of the ATHLETE bib to avoid any inconvenience on race day. If a parent has multiple kids participating, they should wear ALL of their PARENT bibs.
If a parent is planning to run with their kid, they should still wear the PARENT bib. In addition, the back of the ATHLETE bib should be filled out with all of the parent’s information.
*All courses are very well marked. There are mile markers for each distance event, directional signs for course splits and TURNAROUND signs for course turnarounds. Course splits and course turnarounds will be manned with an operations staff member who will typically be making announcements on a megaphone. Course turns are indicated with traffic cones and usually (not always) have police units, volunteers and/or staff members. Traffic on courses is managed by our law enforcement partners, but no roads are promised to be closed to all traffic. Runners should be aware of their surroundings: the course, applicable signage, vehicles, staff, volunteers, and police officers.
