How much does it cost per child to participate in the program?

There is no per child fee.  Some GO FAR coordinators choose to charge a fee that covers snacks, charms and the race fee.  GO FAR does not charge an additional charge.  We do however collect the race fee if the child participates in our race.

If we live in another state or far away from the GO FAR races, how do we participate in a race?

In most areas there are plenty of 5K events that  you can plan to participate in.  GO FAR cannot guarantee what the race fee will be for outside events.  To locate a local 5k event in your area check with local running stores or go to Active.com or runnersworld.com
