If you follow my blog or have read previous posts (thank you very much if you have!) you know that each year our family tries to do a 5K race together. It also seems to be that we end up doing a different race every year, and while I'd like to stick with one, it just doesn't work out that way.
This year though, I remembered early enough about the Miracle Bunny Trail that happens around Easter. My cousin has helped with this race each year and from what I've heard, it's a great family race event. They even have a MINI-Kid's Hop that is only a half mile for the little legs and they get a certificate. If you have little kids, you know how big of a deal that certificate is; it's HUGE for my 5-year-old. They also will have activities for the kids that include an Easter egg hunt, a visit from the Easter Bunny, and other fun stuff.
My husband, the baby girl, and I will do the 5K walk while my son does the fun activities. My son wasn't concerned at all with the half mile distance - his only concern…does he have to hop for the entire half mile? I love how his mind works, it's so sweet and innocent.
And if you are wondering, no, they don't have to hop at all.

I love the idea of doing a family 5k. I think I'm going to have to go look up which ones are happening around here this year so we can do one too :)
ReplyDeleteI want to thank you for reading and commenting on the post. Just a quick piece of advice, make sure the course is relatively flat. :) Our family did one a couple years ago and we didn't know that there would be so many hills, our little guy needed carried…A LOT!
