2025 Main Street Mile Kids Run
Run, jog, skip, or dance your way into the holiday season!
Get ready, Longmont — the most festive mile of the year is BACK and brighter than ever! Join Shoes & Brews and the Longmont Downtown Development Authority (LDDA) for our annual Main Street Mile Kids Run, the holly-jolliest kickoff to Longmont Lights.
Whether you run, wiggle, hop, shuffle, or twirl, this merry mile is open to all ages, all speeds, and all levels of sparkle. Before the Longmont Lights Parade takes over downtown, you’ll get to glide down Main Street in full holiday glory — and support an incredible cause while you’re at it.
Suggested Donation: $10 per participant
Every dollar supports Colorado Kids Belong, a local organization making life brighter for kids in foster care by raising awareness, connecting communities, and supporting foster families.
