- What do I need to bring for my child?
-
Strongly encouraged: A CREATIVE COSTUME OF YOUR KIDS CHOICE!!
- Hat to help block sun
- Sunscreen

- Comfortable athletic shoes. (NO OPEN TOED SHOES ALLOWED)
- Extra set of clothes to change into if desired. (your ROVER may be a bit muddy/dirty after this adventure)
- Each participant will receive a race number (with pins to attach to clothing).
- Will we get wet or muddy?
-
If you'd like to, yes! If you don't want to, no! There are several obstacles which have water and mud in them, and you are always welcome to go around them. In fact, you can skip any obstacles that you'd like to throughout the entire course.
- As a parent, can I join along side them during the event?
-
YES, and it's very much encouraged, but not necessary! (why not? join them while you can, as they probably won't want you to join them at Prom in 10 years!)
- When registering, please indicate the name of the 'Guardian/Parent' that will be joining the kid(s).
- If this person changes, no problem, just notify us at packet pickup.
- The SIDE-KICK must also sign a waiver.
- It is Free for the SIDE-KICK. (but no, you don't get a rad medal or shirt)
- Will there be traffic on the route?
-
The course is designed on both paved sidewalks, hard packed gravel, and grass. No traffic will be present on the course other than the RAD ROVER participants. There will be volunteers and officials along the course to ensure the safety of the ROVERS (Kids). There will be arrows on corners and turns within the courses as well.
