Razorback Athletics is hosting the second annual ‘Fastest Kid in Fayetteville’ race on Saturday, April 28th at 6:00pm at John McDonnell Field on the campus of the University of Arkansas. Children ages 6-12 will participate in a 100-meter dash competition prior to the National Relay Championship which will begin at 7:00pm.

All interested participants are required to register by Monday, April 23 at 5:00pm. Further information about the event will be sent out following your registration.

Every child entered in the race will receive an official Arkansas track and field ‘Fastest Kid in Fayetteville’ t-shirt.

The races will be divided into two age groups with 6-9 and 10-12. The 6-9 age group will compete first with nine children racing at a time. The 10-12 age group will begin directly after and will also feature nine children racing at a time.

Upon completion of both age groups, trophies will be awarded to the fastest boy and girl in each age group. Men’s head coach Chris Bucknam and women’s head coach Lance Harter will present the fastest overall performer with a trophy prior to the start of the collegiate races.
