Ellie’s First 5K

Our stake holds an annual barbeque in the fall. As part of the day of festivities they hold a 5k fun run in the morning. Ellie decided to join the race this year, for the first time. We got up early Saturday morning so she could race. She was a bit nervous, but mostly excited to give it a try. It was difficult but she did her best and ran a good race. She came in fourth for her age group!

The race started and ended in the church parking lot, with about 100 participants of all ages. The finish line ended in the same place as the start, so we waited at the church to see her come in. Brother Larsen rand with her to the finish line for encouragement.

 

 

 

Good job, Ellie! We are proud of you for trying a new thing and for doing your best and finishing!

Julie was there helping with the race and then watching her grandkids while their mom and dad raced. What a cutie!
