Expect big energy, loud support, and feel-good motivation from start to finish.

Once you’ve smashed that finish line, the fun’s just beginning! Head over to Neilson Beach Clubs at KidsFest where you can try your hand at pickleball, get creative with face painting and even dive into Beach Club classics like paddle boarding, yoga, and boxercise.

And don’t miss your chance to win an epic Beach Club – the ultimate prize to top off an unforgettable weekend!
