Kids Run the Bases at Nats Park
y l i m a f & s kid
Kids ages four to 12 can run the bases after every Sunday day game throughout the season. Kids Run the Bases begins immediately following the game, weather permitting. An adult must accompany runners to the field. At game’s end, the grounds crew needs approximately 20 minutes to prepare the field. Kids and parents/guardians can begin lining up at the end of the seventh inning, but fans who would like to stay and watch the entire game will still be able to line up once the game has ended. Participants must exit the ballpark through the Right Field Gate. The line forms outside of the park on the sidewalk along First Street. www.washington.nationals.mlb.com Photo: Courtesy of Washington Nationals Baseball Club
