Akron Marathon Kids Fun Run 2014

On Saturday morning the 27th was the annual Akron Marathon Kids Fun Run. None of us were running in the actual marathon this year but we were still excited to take our kids downtown for the Fun Run. 

Hazel loves mascots but is still her shy little self. I love it.

The Chinese Club from the University of Akron was handing out fortune cookies and doing a dragon dance.

Zippy the UofA kangaroo mascot and some cheerleaders.

This year they had face painting that we waited in a very long line for but it kept us entertained while waiting for the race to start.

Oh my goodness, could this child be any cuter!

Cody took off with Pepper and Morgan with the older kid group. Hazel, Truly and I started with the rest of the stroller brigade. We ran with our friend Scott and his sons. 

Hazel enjoyed getting pushed while I ran most of the way (not the best idea after having a baby and not training forever,) but she got out to run the last little way.

The kids enjoying a Radio Disney show after the race.

We were headed home when Morgan and Pepper decided they wanted to go say hi to the Radio Disney people. Morgan was too shy but Pepper has no fear so she just marched up to them and introduced herself. A few more kids followed and they ended up giving them all some free stuff. Some times I worry about Pepper's lack of "stranger danger" but I love her confidence and no fear attitude! Another great race day!
