Anyone can participate but this event is geared towards kids.  A one mile route completely confined to the Washburn campus will be closely monitored and protected for young runners up to the challenge.  A shorter loop will be set up for younger runners and those just getting started.  Runners should gather in Lee Arena Friday, April 3rd beginning around 5:00 PM.  The Jr. Run for Life will start at 6:00 PM that evening.  Chaperons are welcome to participate as well.  Medals will be given to all participants.  Special recognition will be given to those runners completing the Jr. Run for Life 10 Mile Challenge (see below for details).
