2012 Kids Grand Prix »

WHAT CAN I WIN?

Participants will receive a different prize upon completion of each of the seven Kids Grand Prix events. We may change the award structure this year but each participant will receive an award at each race they complete.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR THE PEPSI KIDS GRAND PRIX?

All students up through sixth grade at the time of the first race in spring 2012 are eligible to participate. If you enter any of the seven events you are automatically part of the Pepsi Kids Grand Prix. Entry forms for individual races are available in the Free Times, the YMCA, and at local sporting goods stores, and of course off this website.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO RUN?

Each run except the Mayor’s Run has a discounted entry fee (compared to the adult entry fee) that will be a reduction from previous years. When you register you will note your grade level on the entry form to receive the discount. There is no additional charge to be part of the Pepsi Kids Grand Prix. Financial aid is available. Send an email to badkneeski@gmail.com or a letter to John Krajewski, 3355 Ridge Park Dr., Lincoln, NE 68504 if you may need assistance.

CAN I PURCHASE ENTRY COUPONS AT DISCOUNTED RATE AS IN PAST YEARS?

With the lower entry fee, we will not use the coupon system as we have in past years. This new system will provide a discount to all participants and you won’t have to keep track of coupons throughout the season.

IF I WILL BE A 7TH GRADER WHEN THE LAST RACE TAKES PLACE, AM I STILL ELIGIBLE?

Yes, 7th graders are eligible to run the last event in the grand prix series.
