LEGOLAND® California is host to a special, 1-mile fun run for kids of all ages and abilities. Before the doors open to the public, they're opened for us to enjoy the sights and sounds of LEGOLAND®! Participants can run, walk, skip or stroll, or even be pushed in a stroller or carried on a back as they wind through the park and back out to the finish line. At the finish, registered kids and adults will be presented with a shiny finisher's medal and treated to light refreshments and family-friendly entertainment. The event concludes at 10 a.m. with the opening of LEGOLAND® and SEA LIFE® Aquarium where registered participants ages 3 to 13 can use their complimentary ticket to enter the park for free and up to four (4) adults can join them for 40% off admission.

The Kids Marathon Mile is proud to be partnering with Merlin's Magic Wand as the official charity partner of the event. A portion of each registration will be donated directly to Merlin's Magic Wand. To learn more click here.

Corrals will be set up for the following age groups: 13 + (youths only), 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 and 4 & under including families and anyone pushing a stroller or wheelchair.

Please note: No late starters will be allowed, so be sure you’re at the event and in your corral by 7:45 a.m.
