17th Annual Cantina Kids Fun Run Smashes Records, Raises $104K

SARATOGA SPRINGS — The numbers are in: 865 young runners, 362 adult runners, 1,227 total participants (an all-time record), $104,000 raised this year, and more than $1 million raised in the event’s lifetime. It’s safe to say that the 17th edition of the Cantina Kids Fun Run, which supports pediatric emergency services at Saratoga Hospital, was a success.

“We are so proud to support Saratoga Hospital and to see the community come together in huge numbers for pediatric emergency services,” said event co-creator and co-chair Heath Ames. “The energy of the kids, all decked out in their neon shirts, is the best part of this event every year.”

The Cantina Kids Fun Run is an athletic event for kids age 12 and under held each year in Congress Park in downtown Saratoga Springs.
