Children’s Activities

Children 12 and under can participate in the Children’s Race Around the Capitol (approximately 1/2 mile) or the Kids’ Capitol Dash (approximately 100 yards) following the 5K walk/run. No charge or registration necessary for either children’s races.

ChronoTrack®

The Cooley 5K Race for Education will be using the ChronoTrack system for the first time this year. The ChronoTrack system is an innovation that allows for the use of disposable tags called D-Tags. The ChronoTrack system simplifies the timing process for athletes. A disposable tag means that the athlete will be in shorter lines before the race to pick up a bib and chip and in no line to return a tag or chip after the race. The D-Tag is easy to attach to a shoe and is far lighter and less intrusive than other timing tags and chips.

Fun and Musical Entertainment

The ever popular rhythm and blues sounds of the Uptown Band will provide the musical entertainment.
