Race Information
This year, Natick's two largest elementary schools, Brown Elementary and Ben Hem Elementary, are teaming up to produce the 8th annual Wicked Fun Run!

At 9:30am:
The 2-mile Fun Run will kick off at 9:30am. All ages are encouraged to participate in the run. Costumes are not required but highly encouraged! The run will take place in the Barnesdale neighborhood behind Brown Elementary School. The course will be marked and volunteers will help direct the runners. The race will start and end at the school. Parking behind the school will be closed off by 9:10am to make way for the runners. Please plan to arrive in advance of the parking closure. Be aware this run is on the open road but is in a quiet neighborhood. Limited traffic is expected. We ask that all runners and walkers stay to the right side of the road on or near the sidewalk. The course will be staffed with volunteers and will be clearly marked.

We will have a special warm up before the race hosted by Boston Body Pilates (at approximately 9:15)!

All students will receive a medal for completing the 2 mile race and there will be trophies for the fastest male/female at each age group (no medals for parents/adults). The age groups are: K and 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders, 4th graders, middle/high schoolers and Adult.

Fall Festival: 10am-12pm
Directly following the race join us for a free Fall Festival! Activities will include: face painting, pony rides, balloon artist, bounce house, a DJ Dance Party, photo booth, bake sale, pumpkin painting, craft tables and games...and more! We will also be joined by many local youth sports organizations for fun games and information!

Approximately 10:15am:
The 50 meter monster dash is open to all preschool and elementary school kids. There will be six groups of sprinters: preschool, kindergarten, 1st graders, 2nd graders, 3rd graders, and 4th graders.
