MPower Youth Running Festival | 5K · 1-Mile · Fun Run 2026

Farmington High School hosts the MPower Youth Running Festival, offering children aged 2 to 14 their own race day without an adult field to crowd the start or obstruct views. Sponsored by Farmington Recreation, the morning begins with the shortest race and progresses to the longest: a 0.25-mile Fun Run, a timed 1-Mile, and a 5K. The Fun Run is designed for ages 2 to 8, the 1-Mile for ages 5 to 14, and the 5K for ages 6 to 14. The courses are closed to vehicle traffic, allowing parents and family to observe from nearby. This arrangement keeps the focus on young runners attempting a distance suited to their age and confidence.
