/in Operation Smile Shamrock Final Mile /by jandaraceIf parents would like to accompany their child on course, they will need to register for the Purple Corral (also known as the Guardian Bib corral) which is the last corral of the day. This corral will be at the end of the student corrals and all adults in this corral must have been issued a guardian bib. The guardian bib is free, and you can sign up for one as part of the registration process. Parents who have already signed up may change their guardian bib status by emailing us at info@jandaracing.com. If a parent chooses to run with their child, then the child will not be able to run with their school.
