Fun Runners will be hosting larger invitational meets in 2025 and we are excited to host both TEAMS and also INDIVIDUALS (with or without team affiliations) at our meets. Our meets will be run efficiently (1-2 hours), where kids will get timed results that will be posted, and will be good experiences for your kids.

CYO, PAL, Private Club Teams should contact us at lifunrunners@gmail.com for team pricing. We will close out dates to teams once we have a solid number. If you are on a team and want your team to attend this meet, tell your coach!

Teams will be announced here once they commit to attending this meet.

Kids who are on the Fun Runners Competition Team will compete at these meets for no extra charge. Sign up for the Competition Team if interested there.

Fun Runners Friday 400 FESTIVAL
Candlewood MS, Dix Hills, Friday 3/28 at 6pm

This meet is a celebration of the 400m Distance. It’s simple - one lap on the track, all out. This is for kids PK - 8th grade. We want every kid to know their time for the 400m dash and run against their peers. All results will be recorded on our website. This meet will last until 7:15pm.
Kids will warm up, do drills, get assigned a racing bib, and put into heats against their peers. Younger kids will run in up to 12 in a heat, older kids 6th grade and up will get their own lane.
We will have 4×400m relays for clubs and teams that join us.
We will have medals for the top 3 in every age group - not every heat. Ribbons for all kids PK - 2nd grade. Please communicate to those older children that not everyone will receive a medal.

Teams should contact us at lifunrunners@gmail.com to inquire about group rates.
