DetailsKids Pedal Car races are open to all racers age 3 – 8 years old with a pedal powered car. Race dates, times, and cost are as noted. There are three heats during each race: 3 & 4 year olds, 5 & 6 year olds, 7 & 8 year olds. For your child to participate, you’ll need your own pedal car (scroll down for more information), a helmet, and to make sure to register them for the race!
