The Kids Run is a race organised to introduce children and young teenagers to the world of running.
The course, a ring of 300 m to be covered one or more times depending on the age category, takes place within Locarno’s Piazza Grande
Children of 2017 and younger can take part in the parent-child race accompanied by an adult.
The ‘Ascona-Locarno Run’ will therefore get under way in a joyful atmosphere, with the children’s energy no doubt bringing Locarno’s Piazza Grande to life.
According to the current directives of the Federal Council for events with more than 1,000 participants, the COVID certificate will be mandatory for all participants (persons over 16 years old).
The 5 vie Farmadomo pharmacy will be present in the race village in Piazza Grande and will ensure the possibility to perform the rapid antigen test on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning.
