3 Reasons to join a Turkey Trot Race with the Kids |
Create a Family Tradition of Giving! 🦃
Create a new tradition in your family this year! Get matching outfits or costumes, family t-shirts, and snap photos each year that you'll be thankful for! Family Fitness is important and you'll get to see your progress year after year.
Set goals for a 🏃♀️ healthy lifestyle 🏃🏿 before the New Year
Running races can be addicting! Whether it's the shiny new medal you get to hang on the wall or the snapshot of crossing that finish line, challenging yourself and your kids to get fit as a family.
A family that runs together gets a second helping of pie! 🥧
Seriously, though, by running together each week you can help create a motivation in your kids to exercise and stay healthy. Studies show that kids tend to exercise as much as their parents do so it's important that we get up off the couch and head outside for a game of soccer, a bike ride, or even a 5K!
