Marin Memorial Day Races

Put your training to the test and run one of the fastest 10K courses in the Bay Area: the Marin 10K, a flat, certified loop that kicks into high gear for a dramatic finish in the College of Marin Stadium. Or challenge yourself to a walk, run, or racewalk in the Don Ritchie 5K. And don't forget the very popular and fun Youth Track Races for kids 12 and under!

Registration and Fees
There are three ways to enter: (1) by mail; (2) online; and (3) in person on the morning of the race, between 6:30 and 7:30 am. Yes, it is possible to register on race morning! A parent or guardian's signature is required for all entrants under 18.

Youth Track Races
The Youth Track Races are held after the conclusion of the 10K and 5K. They are open to all kids age 12 or under. Distances are chosen to be appropriate for each age group, starting with a 50 yard dash for toddlers accompanied by a parent, up to a mile run for the older kids. One $5 entry fee entitles a child to as many events as he or she wishes. It's fun to be part of and fun to watch! A great photo-op, too. All kids get runner numbers, participation ribbons, and other cool souvenirs. Parents can register their kids in advance by mail or online, or right up to the last minute at a special table set up alongside the track.
