Mini Flames Kids Race

An OCR Experience Just for Kids

Mini Flames is a playful introduction to obstacle course racing, designed especially for kids aged 12 and under. With a 1.5km loop course and 15+ kid-friendly obstacles, this event is all about movement, confidence and having a great time outdoors.

The course features a mix of obstacles adapted specifically for younger participants, offering plenty of action without the pressure. Kids can move at their own pace, whether that’s charging through as fast as they can or taking it slow and enjoying the experience.

Timing chips are included for safety and for those who are keen to see their finish time, but there’s no emphasis on racing. The focus is fun, participation and giving OCR a go.

Each child entry includes an adult entry, allowing parents or guardians to assist where needed. Adult support is recommended for children under 5 years. Confident children aged 5 and over are welcome to complete the course independently.

Mini Flames is about smiles, muddy shoes and discovering.
