You probably won’t set a PR in these often non-competitive events, but you’ll have a lot of fun with your runner-in-training
As a parent, no doubt you’re running after your little one—a lot. So why not log some official miles—and maybe even earn some hardware—while you’re at it? Doing a race with with your runner-in-training may not earn you a PR, but it’s an amazing time to bond enjoy a festive atmosphere.
Before making your way to a starting line, however, there are several factors to consider. First, check the event website to see whether strollers are permitted: Not all races allow them, of course, and for those that do, you may have to pay a little extra (you will likely need to register your kiddo, too). Flat courses are preferable, and don’t forget about distance. You might be able to push your stroller for a 10K or half marathon, but your little one might not be too keen on staying strapped in for that long.
