FAQs
Can I run with my child(ren)?
Parents/caregivers are more than welcome to run with their Trail Kids! The 1km untimed race is designed to introduce younger children to the joys of trail running and those wishing to share this moment and accompany their children is encouraged. The 3km timed race is designed for older, more independent runners, however we allow parents to accompany some children, eg those that may be in a younger age category or perhaps stepping up to the 3km for the first time. The bigger question is though, can the parents keep up! Parents do not need to register.
I'm worried my child(ren) will get lost, are there marshals/markings?
All our Trail Kids courses are extensively marked with uniquely coloured (that is different to RunningWild events) flagging tape and signage arrows and marshals are deployed to any crucial junctions on the trail to ensure all Trail Kids are kept on course. We also have a lead runner and tail walker (both with 2 way radio contact) to ensure the safety of all Trail Kids.
Will the race go ahead in rainy/hot/inclement weather?
Trail Kids follows the policy protocols of Running Wild as set by their Event and Safety Management team who monitor and make decisions on race conditions. If Running Wild postpone/cancel or adjust their events (eg change the distance or the course), we will do the same. We will notify parents via email if there are any changes to the event prior to race day, if they are known.
Are there refreshments available?
Yes, thanks to our friends at the The Glenbrook Greengrocer, a variety of fruit is supplied for all Trail Kids, along with water at our marquee after the race. We follow and agree with the Running Wild eco-friendly principles of 'cup-free' events so please bring a bottle/flask for children. Please note that both Running Wild and Snax on Trax, do not cater for Trail Kids, and this is advised to all Trail Kids in the pre race briefing. Your support however is of course appreciated!
Do we have to become a 'member' of Trail Kids to take part in the races?
Trail Kids don't have any memberships as such and all children that take part in the races or any other of our events become part of the Trail Kids family! We operate much like any other event, anyone is welcome to join in the event and inclusive of all abilities and experiences.
I've ordered merchandise, will it be sent out?
To keep your costs down, pick up on the race morning is the best method. However, if you prefer to have your merchandise sent out prior to the race, please email us and this can be arranged for the usual postage/handling costs ($5-$10 depending on volume). email: trailkidscontact@gmail.com
Will merchandise be available for purchase on race morning?
Yes, we will bring our available merchandise to the races. However, varying stock levels may mean not all sized garments are available, so best to order through the registration process which ensures you will receive what you order. Due to the remoteness of our locations in terms of cellular reception, only cash can be accepted for payments.
Can I enter my child(ren) on the day?
Trail Kids adheres with Running Wild protocols, and as such, no entries can be taken on the day. Online entries only.
