Run Like a Mother -- Kids' One Mile Race


"Run Like a Mother" is a very popular Ridgefield road race on the morning of Mothers Day Sunday.  Kids ten years old and under line up at 8 a.m., half an hour before the adults begin.  I had two granddaughters in this one mile race. 



The third grader just turned nine years old two days before the race.  She competed in the 9-and-10 year old category and finished third.


The first grader is very sociable.  She saw that a girl near her had the number next to hers, so they immediately became best friends and ran together the whole race, right behind two other good friends.

Your Granddaughter looks like a true runner. Congratulation to her for finishing third. She did great.
