Chiquita Kids Minimarathon is run on 18th August, 2012 starting at 10 AM, just before the start of the Helsinki City Marathon. Hence, the whole family can start the day with a joyful event.

You can sense the joy of playful sports in the Chiquita Kids Minimarathon

The Chiquita Kids Minimarathon is a happy and playful sports event for the children and the whole family. The participant can choose to run fast to the finish or to take it easier and walk with friends. The youngest children can also run with their parents if they wish. 

There are age groups for children aged between 5-13. There is no minimum age for the Chiquita Kids Minimarathon, but everyone born in 2005 or later will be in the age group of the 5-year-old children. There is no timing for any age group as the event is above all a happy and sporty event of being together. Every runner will still run with a very own running number attached to his/her shirt.

Fun games and plays at the start area

The Chiquita Kids Minimarathon is now even more joyful! The start area of the new improved Minimarathon is build at the Eläintarha field (Eläintarhan urheilukenttä), right next to the Olympic Stadium. There are lots of sporty games for the children to play at the field, which makes the waiting of the own start group a lot nicer. The routes then lead to the Olympic Stadium, where the finish area is located.

Every participant will get a T-shirt and a Minimarathon medal. In addition, the runners can enjoy the delicacies of our co-operating companies while cheering the other runners to finish. The runners of the Chiquita Kids Minimarathon will also be given a free entrance to the Swimming Stadium (that is located between the Eläintarha field and the Olympic Stadium) by showing their running number.

The Chiquita Kids Minimarathon is above all a family event, where the joy of the children brings joy to the parents as well. What could be a better way to start the day than be at the Chiquita Kids Minimarathon with the whole family!
