You must be a parent of a student at one of the 2010 participating schools listed below to register your child for the May 1, 2010 event.

Please note:  You must provide two waivers in hard copy format to your child's coach.  OC Marathon 2010 Waiver English and OC Fair & Event Center Waiver English can be downloaded here. OC Marathon 2010 Waiver Spanish and OC Fair & Event Center Waiver Spanish can be downloaded here.  Parents of children 8 and under may only run with their child if they register and pay the $25.00 fee and sign the two waivers for themselves as well as their child. Parents of children 9 and over may not run with their children. We recommend that all children run on their own as they have trained and prepared for this great event and we have developed a closed, safe course for them to enjoy and reap the benefits of all their hard work!

For schools interested in becoming involved in the 2010 Kids Run the OC Training program, Informational Meetings will be held immediately prior to the upcoming trainings from 9am to 10am on or Saturday, January 9, 2010.  We ask that all new schools attend an informational meeting at which we cover the nuts and bolts of the administration portion of the program, including registration, rosters, bibs, and other race day and event details.

Curriculum Trainings for the Kids Run the OC will be held from 10am to 12noon onSaturday, Saturday, January 9, 2010 in Room D-1002 at the Orange County Department of Education in Costa Mesa. A map of and directions to the Orange County Department of Education facility can be found here. You only need to attend one training.

We have made significant changes to the curriculum through our partnership with the Orange County Department of Education.  These include a more user friendly layout, more games and resources, and more options for your programs. We are VERY excited about these changes and ask that all OLD and NEW schools attend one of the two trainings.  The returning schools are a great resource for the new schools to ask questions, get ideas and provide mentoring to our new schools.

For more information on the Kids Run the OC program or to RSVP for the informational and/or training meetings so that we have enough materials and food available, please contact kidsruntheoc@ocmarathon.com.
