Running Girls

Chloe and Alexa ran a Ready Set Run race in Essex this morning. It is a kids running program through Run Vermont, who organize the Vermont City Marathon among other things. They have various races the kids do throughout the year. Once they finish all the different races they get a medal for participating. Today's race was in Essex. It was a rather damp and breezy morning, but the rain held off. They had some warm up exercises before the race started.

They lined them up by height at the start line. A good plan so the little guys don't get stepped on. Notice Alexa peeking out from the back.

And they were off....

Water and trail mix at the finish line.

Best of all was the raffle at the end of  the race where Chloe won a gift certificate worth $100 for a new pair of sneakers at the SkiRack. She is pretty excited to go pick out her new shoes.
