Race-morning timing: check-in, activities and warm-ups start at 9 a.m. Plan to be there by 9:30 so your runner isn't rushed to the line.

Good to know:

  • The field is capped at 500 kids. The registration page doesn't say whether spots are still left, so check before you go.
  • T-shirts were promised only to kids registered by Oct. 11.
  • The run is presented by GPO Federal Credit Union with support from Hannaford.
  • Parking details weren't published. Proctor Park sits along Rutger Street on Utica's east side, so give yourself a few extra minutes to find a spot.
