Dirty Kid Obstacle Race at The Sacramento Adventure Playground
2026-10-10 09:00 - 10:00
“Clean” is not an option! Join us for our 8th annual Dignity Health Dirty Kid Obstacle Race at the Sacramento Adventure Playground on Saturday and Sunday, October 10-11 from 10AM-11AM each day. Youth and adult participants of all ages (4 and up) will race in a small endurance course with obstacles, including MUD!
Waves of kids 4–15—and even some adults—will be challenged by a demanding course with numerous physical obstacles—climbing over walls, jumping hay bales, crawling through a mud pit and through tubes, navigating balance beams, and dragging tires. Course length, obstacles, and difficulty adjust with age. The race is both fun and an important lesson in perseverance!
This event serves as a fundraiser for the Sacramento Adventure Playground, with all proceeds going toward supporting the Adventure Playground, a Fairytale Town-powered initiative. Located at Maple Neighborhood Center, the Adventure Playground is an after-school youth development program that enables youth ages 6 to 15 to engage in supervised play activities free of charge.
