Rapides Junior Runners Fall Series

The Rapides Junior Runners Fall Series provides 4 races in September and October for kids aged 3 to junior high. Various distances are run, depending on the child's age: 3-5 runs 1/2 mile; 6-11 runs 1 mile; 12-14 will run 2 miles. For the fall series, two-mile participants can either register as an individual participant or participate with their Junior High School team via school coach. All races are chip timed. The course is a true cross-country course, closed to traffic and utilizes the grounds of Ward 9 Sports Complex, 3311 Donahue Ferry Road, Pineville, LA 71360.

Upon individual registration, each participant will receive a chipped bib and a goody bag. T-shirts will be optional and will be available to print on demand on one to two race mornings - to be determined and announced at a later date. Please keep the same bib for all 4 races. If you happen to misplace or forget your child's bib number, replacement bib numbers will be available for purchase at the race venue for a cost of $10. Every finisher will receive a finish medal at the finish line each race.
