Join the fun
The Gateway Pediatric Dentistry WildOnes Kids MaraFun is a unique race format that allows young people ages 4-12 to participate in their first race. On race day the course is 1.2 km but the kids are encouraged to do a 4-6 week training program to log their kilometers. If they get up to 41 km by race day they will complete their first "MaraFun" on the course! Don't forget to check out the Race Village in St. Albert, which includes a kids' fun zone, live entertainment, food and beverages and much more!
