Mini Mount Marathon Race

Created in 1989 by Kim and Skip Reierson as a way to involve their 2-year-old daughter in Seward’s Fourth of July festivities, the annual Mini Mount Marathon plants the seeds for new generations of young Mount Marathon racers. It’s open to children ages 2 to 6 and over the past 30 years thousands of children have participated, with many going on to race in the junior and senior divisions.

Today, the mini race is a beloved Fourth of July tradition and one of the most anticipated events of the day. Skip and Kim send nearly 200 kids across the start line each year, a feat that is possible thanks to a dedicated group of partners.

Petro Marine has been a sponsor for the Mini Mount Marathon Race since the beginning, each year supporting the race and providing small toys for the racers. A core group of long-time volunteers makes sure the mini race goes off without a hitch.
