Kids Zone by TrackTown USA Kids Club

Bring the whole family to the Kids Zone in the Fan Festival for nonstop games, button making, and track & field fun designed for our youngest fans! Kids can test their skills in the 40m dash, stick jump, and inflatable alley, featuring an obstacle course, shot put, and turbo javelin throw.

A signed participation waiver is required for these activities. Visit the waiver tent near the start of the 40m dash to have your waiver verified and receive a red wristband, which is required to participate.

To save time, we encourage families to complete the participation waiver before arriving on Friday, July 3. Fans may also sign the waiver onsite by scanning a QR code at the waiver tent.

Celebrate your Pre Classic experience at the Fan Festival on the turf fields! Stop by the My First Pre tent to pick up a commemorative certificate and button, then capture the moment with fun photo opportunities for fans of all ages.
