Both of my girls ran!
Brooke is the one in the pink shorts, and her friend Jacque is in the black shorts!
Chelsea was the youngest competitor!
She decided last minute to run...and she did awesome!
It was such a great event to have the girls go to!
We stayed and watched the Competitive runners and the Elite!
They got to go on the podium and be interviewed and they got a signed painting from Suzy Favor Hamilton!
The the winner for the Women's Elite was incredible!
She took the time to make the girls feel like a million bucks!
She autographed their shirt, gave them her race number, and autographed it, and then gave them her winning flowers too!
Amazing!
The winner of the Men's Elite...was gracious as well!He too autographed their t-shirts and took pictures with them!
(He has the second fastest mile time in the world!)
There was not many kids who stuck around to watch the Competitive and Elite runners...so my girls got to embrace all of it!
I am so thankful I took them, and we will be back next year for more!
My young ones PARTIED the whole time...
they danced to the band, played in dirt, ran around, and just wore themselves out!
It ended up being a late night....and well worth it!
This was the kick off for the Drake Relays...I am so excited to go watch the races on Saturday!
