Who is allowed to run the bases?

When does the running begin?
  • Once the game has ended and the teams have cleared the dugouts.

How long does the running last?
  • There is a time limit of 5 minutes for kids to run the bases.

Where do kids line up for the event?
  • Running must start from home plate with the older children starting first and the youngest last to avoid any collisions.

NB: Please note that the running of the bases maybe restricted if games are behind schedule or there are weather issues.
