Dear Parents,
The South Florida Fair Read, Run and Recycle Kids Mile is a 12 week training program that
enables kids to complete a full marathon (26.2 miles) by running approximately 2 miles per
week. By doing so, kids develop the tremendous feeling of accomplishment and confidence
without the high risk involved with young kids running a full marathon in one day. The program
is completed in grand fashion on Saturday, January 17, 2015 at the South Florida Fair in West
Palm Beach as each child is able to run the final mile of the marathon. (Kids K Race (3-6 yrs.)
starts at 8:00 a.m. and Kids Mile Race starts at 8:30 a.m.)
The South Florida Fair Read, Run and Recycle Kids Mile has been endorsed by the School
District of Palm Beach County. All elementary schools are encouraged to participate.
Physical Education teachers implement the program at each individual school. The teachers
are in direct communication with the South Florida Fair staff to ensure distribution of
documentation and mileage log sheets. Each student athlete who participates and completes
all 26.2 miles will receive one (1) free admission to the Fair GOOD ON THE DAY OF THE
RACE, OR ANY TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY of the 2015 South Florida Fair,
finisher’s medal, t-shirt, goodie bag, bib number and refreshments after the race.
The second component of the program requires students to read 15 minutes each day. These
lessons include topics on nutrition and fitness.
The South Florida Fair has partnered with Southern Waste Systems to implement “Sneakers 4
Shelters” for this year’s recycling program component. Round up gently used sneakers/shoes,
tie the laces together and bring them to the Fair on the day of the race Saturday, January 17,
2015. Our goal is to collect at least 1000 pairs of shoes to be distributed to needy families in
Palm Beach County.
Deadline to register is December 1st, 2014. Entry fee is $10.00 per child. We encourage
parents to register their children with their school’s Athletic Director and/or Physical Education
Teacher.
We hope that you will allow your children to participate in the South Florida Fair Read, Run and
Recycle Kids Mile program. For more information, contact your child’s school Physical
Education teacher or visit: www.southfloridafair.com/kidsmile.

Kids K ( 3-6 yrs.) race begins

Can teachers and/or parents run with their kids? We do not suggest teachers or parents
run with the students. There will be volunteers on the course to monitor the progress of the

and a medical tent if there are any problems.
Children participating in the Kids K whose parents feel that they need to run with their
children may accompany them on the course.

students finish. Students are strongly encouraged to locate one of the recycling bins
provided for the event and deposit their empty water bottles there!
Should participants eat breakfast before arriving to the race? Yes, a light breakfast will
fuel their run.
When should kids arrive race morning? Kids should arrive at the South Florida Fair one
hour prior to the start of the race.
Where should students report? Each school will be given a number designating
placement at the South Florida Fair’s North Parking Area near the Archway Gate. Students
should be directed to find the numbered area and stay in place until races begin. Schools
will be moved to the start/finish line by number in the parade of schools. At this time,
schools are encouraged to display their school banner or flag. Schools may not run with the
banners or flags.
How are the students going to start? The students will run with their school by number.
Each school will be assigned a number. We will break up the races into Waves.

FAQ
-2-
Does every child have to run? Participants can run, jog or walk. Skates, skateboards,
bikes or scooters are not allowed.
What is the bib number for? To act as an identity tool for parents not only to aid in
locating their child, but also as a means to access photos of your child should you wish to
purchase one after the race.
How far is the Kids Mile? 1 mile
How can parents locate their children after the race? Children cannot be accompanied in
the race by a parent or legal guardian. The course will be secured with volunteers and
parents should plan on meeting their children at the finish line. The distance to run is very
short. For children 5 and under, we suggest having a parent or older sibling at the start with
the child as well as having a family member waiting at the finish line to retrieve their child
once they have completed the race. All distances are run in waves of small children until all
runners have participated. In case a child cannot locate his/her parents, they will be
escorted to the Guest Services/Lost Children Booth and the MC/announcer will make an
announcement.
What if it rains? The races will be held rain or shine.
Can schools wear their own T-shirts? All participants will be given a t-shirt to wear. If
schools feel the need to wear a certain color t-shirt for organizational purposes, that is fine.
What if a student is walking or jogging? Students should have ample room to walk or jog
as the faster runners pass them on the course. These participants should start at the rear in
the group they are running with.
What do the kids get with their entry? One (1) FREE admission to the Fair good on
Saturday, January 17, 2015 OR any one Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday of the 2015
Fair, t-shirt, finisher’s medal, goodie bag, bib number and refreshments after the race.
What about the recycling component of the program? This year we are collecting gently
worn shoes/sneakers. They will be distributed to area homeless shelters in Palm Beach
County. Students are asked to bring the shoes to the Fair on the morning of the race, where
they will be collected in the Southern Waste Systems pickup truck located at the entrance of
the race.
Is there any Prize Money? Yes, there will be prize monies for the school with the most
registered students as follows: 1st Place - $1,000, 2nd Place - $500. Monies will be payable
to the school’s PE department.

Dear Athletic Directors and/or Physical Education Teachers,
The South Florida Fair Read, Run and Recycle Kids Mile is a 12 week training program that
enables kids to complete a full marathon (26.2 miles) by running approximately 2 miles per
week. By doing so, kids develop the tremendous feeling of accomplishment and confidence
without the high risk involved with young kids running a full marathon in one day. The
program is completed in grand fashion on Saturday, January 17, 2015 at the South Florida
Fair in West Palm Beach as each child is able to run the final mile of the marathon. (Kids K
Race (3-6 yrs.) starts at 8:00 a.m. and Kids Mile Race starts at 8:30 a.m.)
The South Florida Fair Read, Run and Recycle Kids Mile has been endorsed by the School
District of Palm Beach County. All elementary schools are encouraged to participate.
Physical Education teachers implement the program at each individual school. The
teachers are in direct communication with the South Florida Fair staff to ensure distribution
of documentation and mileage log sheets. Each student athlete who participates and
completes all 26.2 miles will receive one (1) free admission to the Fair GOOD ON THE DAY
OF THE RACE, OR ANY ONE TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY of the 2015
South Florida Fair, finisher’s medal, t-shirt, goodie bag, bib number, and refreshments after
the race.
The second component of the program requires students to read 15 minutes each day.
These lessons include topics on nutrition and fitness.
The South Florida Fair has partnered with Southern Waste Systems to implement
“Sneakers 4 Shelters” for this year’s recycling program component. Our goal is to collect at
least 1000 pairs of shoes to be distributed to needy families in Palm Beach County.
Attached is a copy of the race application. Deadline to register is December 1st, 2014.
This year, we encourage parents to register their children with their Athletic Directors and/or

Sneakers 4 Shelters
It is estimated that Americans have over 1.5 billion unused
shoes in their closets and we want them!
The South Florida Fair has partnered with Southern Waste Systems to implement
“Sneakers 4 Shelters” for this year’s recycling program.
This program will serve to facilitate the donation of gently used sneakers. Students
are asked to bring the shoes to the Fair on the morning of the race, January
17, 2015 where they will be collected in the Southern Waste Systems pickup
truck located at the entrance of the race. Our goal is to collect 1000 pairs of
sneakers to be distributed to needy families in Palm Beach County.
