Run, Run, Run

R and T ran in the St. Alphonsus Children's Capitol Classic last weekend. It is a one mile race from the Boise train depot to the Capitol-- one mile. It is the largest children's race in the country for ages 6-14. T ran it in 11:02 and placed 21st out of 83 6 year old boys and 601 overall out of 1096. R ran it in 11:09, 50 out of 93 for 7 year old boys. Their cousin ran it with them an he finished in 11:56. Pretty good for 6 and 7 year olds. Here are some pictures.
There were a bunch of mascots milling around while the kids waited for the race to start, here are both boys posing with Smokey the bear.
This is the mob at the start of the race-- and this is only the boys. R and T are there somewhere, but good luck finding them!!!!
Here is T midway, he had a mega grin the entire race!!!!
Here is R with his medal at the end. All of the kids got a T-shirt and a medal and both boys were SOOOO proud of their medals.

At the end of the race, they had a big party in the park with lots of free hot dogs, pop, yogurt, milk, fruit, and free stuff for the kids. Here they are posing with the Boise State mascot, Buster Bronco and showing off their medals.
