Under 10 run begins before the adult race

The Homecoming 2.5K race, now a regular feature of the festivities, will again provide a chance for those younger-than-college age to burn off calories from the Rotary Pancake Breakfast.

Kids under 10 years old can run free races in the grass behind Old Main in the North Quad after Saturday’s breakfast.

Races start at 8:15 a.m., said race coordinator John Henry Pommier, a recreation administration professor, but parents should register children before then.

Like all racers, kids will receive free brunch from McDonald’s.
