The San Francisco Child Abuse Prevention Center invites kids of all ages to participate in the 3^rd annual Munchkin Kids Run, part of the Wipro San Francisco Marathon, at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday, July 29^th, 2012. Participants run along the Embarcadero and can choose to participate in the 1 mile, 1/2 mile or 100 yard dash. Pre-registration is required and the cost to participate is $25. All competitors will receive a runner’s bib with their name on it, a signature medal for finishing, t-shirt, and food and drinks after the race at the Munchkin Festival. Proceeds benefit child abuse prevention programs at the SFCAPC.

Those who can’t partake in the festivities are encouraged to lend their support by sponsoring a team of 15 children from the Prevention Center to run in the race. By making a $2,000 tax deductible donation, sponsors will receive a booth at the Munchkin Kids Run finish line for distribution of product or materials, a company logo on munchkin t-shirts and on the Prevention Center’s webpage, as well as four VIP passes for the official Marathon Reception on race day. All runners are also invited and encouraged to raise money for the San Francisco Child Abuse Prevention Center.  Sign up to fundraise or make a one-time donation on Crowdrise, or for all other information on sponsorships and registration, please visit http://www.thesfmarathon.com/the-race/munchkin-kids-run/.
