REGISTRATION NOW OPEN!
The Life Time Diaper Derby kicks off the race weekend for the Life Time Miami Marathon & Half. This is a fun-filled event for your little crawlers who will make their way across a 10-foot mat for the chance to be a champion!
BUT no matter who reaches the Finish Line first, there are no losers in this competition. Dubbed “the cutest moment in endurance sports”, the derby will consist of 5 heats of 5 babies. The fastest baby from each heat will then race in the final for top-spot.
Registration is limited to the first 25 babies aged 6-12 months. Parents/guardians, be sure to enter the child’s information in the “Participant Info” section of registration; both parent and child information will be collected during the registration process.
