Why take your kids to Mini Jog?
Mini Jog events are all about participation and fun! They are designed to encourage kids to get out and get active by providing a physical challenge in a friendly and social environment. Place ribbons and barrel draw prizes are awarded at every event. There is also a year-long point score competition with a boy’s and girl’s perpetual trophy.
What would your kids do?
There is a 2 km course along trails and footpaths of Weston Park. The course is out and back, and there is a turn marshal at the 1 km point. The run is conducted in a handicap format (staggered start depending on age and previous run time) which provides everyone an opportunity to win.
