When your child has completed their bike leg they will drop off their bike at the designated spot staffed by volunteers who will assist them. They will proceed to their run on the soccer field inside of the paved path at the Huntersville Athletic Park, running counter-clockwise around the cones. When they complete their run they will enter the finish line shoot staffed by volunteers to assist them.
