BUFFALO, N.Y. (May 16, 2013) – Register as a team for this year’s 25th Annual Independent Health Foundation’s Kids Run at 9 a.m., Saturday, June 1, at the Zoofari Courtyard at Delaware Park.
The free event, which is presented by Wegmans, includes a mini-dash for kid’s ages 2 to 5 and a 1.8 mile run/walk for all ages. In addition to registering as a team, participants can create custom shirts and purchase custom road signs to cheer on team/ runner.
Trophies are awarded to the winning boys and girls and each participant receives a medal at the finish line, while supplies last. After the race, all participants can enjoy the Buffalo Zoo with $2 admission per person.
“Twenty-five years after Kids Run started at Delaware Park, it’s become a fantastic tradition for many Western New York families,” said Carrie Meyer, executive director, Independent Health Foundation. “We hope our Kids Run participants see the value of engaging in healthy activities, especially at an early age, and continue exercising as a family year round.”
