    My 7yo son has expressed interest in running a 400 m dash race. Historically, do any of the racing events host this race inside a park or is it at the ESPN facilities?

    Hi Sarah!

    The Kids Races are really fun events!  My boys loved doing them when they were younger, and now they love running the 5K's with me.  It's a great way to introduce our children to the sport of running.

    Generally, the Kids Races are always at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.  This past Princess Half weekend, there was a big ballgame at the sports complex so the kids events were moved to the Epcot parking area.  This was definitely an exception to the norm. 

    The Wide World of Sports is the perfect place for these events.  While it's not a park, there are lots of Disney characters around and lots of music and fun for everyone.

    I hope this helps!  Please let me know if you have any other questions.
