Hosted by Case Creek Trails, Tails & Obstacles OCR, this event is specifically designed to ignite the inner ninja in children aged 4 to 11. Participants will tackle a thrilling 1.5-mile adventure course set on a picturesque farm, winding through scenic hills, enchanting woods, pastures, and rugged terrain, with typical race day conditions seeing highs around 85F and lows around 64F, and only a 14% chance of precipitation.
