Kidstrong Victory Lap/Grand Blue Mile

Iowa started a program called Kidstrong designed to promote youth healthy living. Kidstriders is a running club in this program. Crossroads (Blake and Hunter's school) participated in the program in a big way. They had 130 kids participate by running 30 minutes after school on Tues and before school on Fridays when weather permitted. All kids that accumulated 26 miles by March were invited to run in a celebratory 1/4 mile to finish their marathon. They ran last night with two Olympic Gold Medalists in town for the Drake Relays. Here are they are with their school (Blake circled in black and Hunter circled in red). There were 700 kids that participated in this celebration.




















After the kids run. Adam participated in one of a series of mile runs. He ran a 7 minute mile.
