As part of the Festival Foods La Crosse Fitness Festival the Riverside Youth Races, a series of running events for younger children will be held on May 5th, 2012, in Riverside Park. Eight races of three different distances, depending on ages of the entrants, will be open to all boys and girls up through the 6th grade. There is no cost for participation, but all entrants must register for each event. All participants will receive a free t-shirt and finisher's medal.

Time
The races will begin at Noon on Saturday in Riverside Park.

Registration
To ensure that we have an adequate number of t-shirts in all sizes, we prefer advance registration, although registration will be available at Riverside Park up to one hour prior to the first race.

Mascot Race
As a kickoff to the Riverside Youth Races, mascots of area merchants and organizations will vigorously compete against one another in a 100-yard dash. This may not be the Sausage Race at Miller Park, but it is a fun event! If your company, school, or organization has a mascot that is up to the challenge, please contact pfisterp@cityoflacrosse.org of the La Crosse Parks and Recreation Department for information.

Awards
All participants will receive a t-shirt with the Festival Foods La Crosse Fitness Festival logo and a finisher's medal.
