All month long, our team has been hitting the road to bring the ultimate Mobile Run experience straight to schools across Indiana! ๐Ÿ๐ŸšŒ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ

We love traveling all around the state to celebrate the K-6 students who completed the 500 Festival KidsFit program this spring.

As a special celebration event, the Mobile Run is the perfect culmination of the program.

Our team brings a full-scale race experience right to their school โ€” complete with official race decor and that final sprint across the finish line โ€” to celebrate their hard work and healthy habits.
