The Crim Kids Invitational, held on the Friday night before the Crim, is the culminating activity for the Summer Running Clubs. The kids and teens are invited to participate in either a short competitive run or fun run. This event gives the club members and opportunity to show off their colorful Running Club shirts and get the recognition they deserve.

The Teddy Bear Trot began in 1988 as a way to get future Crim runners involved with race day activities. This event gives families and children a race of their very own.
