Kids have a chance to take part in a fun, fit way to usher in the holiday season. The Naval Air Station Whidbey Island Youth Center will present the Elf Dash Saturday morning for all eligible children ages 5 to 13. The event is free, and the first 100 participants also qualify for a T-shirt.

Check-in starts at 8 a.m., and the start times are divided by distances and age groups: 8:30 a.m. for ages 9-13 (2 miles); 9 a.m. for ages 7-8 (1 mile); and 9:30 a.m. for ages 5-6 (1/2 mile).

For the really younger set, there is a pre-K stroller division for ages 0-4. Each entrant must be accompanied by an adult walker or runner, and has the option of an 8:30, 9:00, or 9:30 a.m. start time.

Call 257-3150 for more information.
