Run & Ride @ Cambridgeside

Sonya took part in the Run & Ride @ Cambridgeside which is the first ever Cambridge duathlon with biking and running in and around the Cambridgeside Galleria for 5 -14 year olds.

Sonya was in the 5-6 year old catergory and they only had to run 1/4 mile from the starting line in front of the main entrance to the galleria, through the shopping mall, and finish in Charles River Park behind the mall.

While Sonya waited for the race to start, Clara and I made our way to the finish line to wait for Sonya. They had a moon bounce set up for the kids. When we first got there, Clara was the only one and she had a lot of fun having the whole place to bounce all by herself.

Here comes the little runners...

Sonya!

Sonya was not the first ones to pass the finish line but everyone got a medal for crossing it :)

Sonya joined Clara in the moon bounce :)

There was also face painting and food samples for everyone.

As if they had not burn off enough energy running and bouncing, Sonya and Clara climbed their way through the spiderweb like structure behind the park.

It is times like this when you realized that your kids have really grown up and ready to tackle new adventures.

Got some slush to cool off after all that running, bouncing and climbing.
