Main Street Kids Run / Walk

🎄 Main Street Mile Kids Run
Run, jog, skip, or dance your way down Main Street!

Join us for the Annual Main Street Mile Kids Run, hosted by Shoes & Brews and the Longmont Downtown Development Authority (LDDA).

This merry mile (just about one mile total) is open to all ages, all abilities, and all levels of holiday spirit! Before the Longmont Lights Parade takes over downtown, enjoy a rare moment to run, walk, or dance your way down Main Street — all while supporting a great cause.
