[quote=Anonymous]PP (9:28) We don't run races but we are a family of hikers. We have had our son, 7, out camping since he was 4. He completed his first backpacking trip this summer. 5 miles with a 12 pound pack (with water and within the weight ratio recommended for kids, he is in the 95th percentile for height and weight). He loved it and has been asking when we can go backpacking again. He regularly goes on 3-6 mile hikes with us and will ask to go out for hikes. We went camping with friends and their child, a friend of mine, was whining about the hike 1 mile in. Different kids have different interests and that is fine. What seems early for you might be something that another kid that same age loves. So I can buy that there was a 4 year old whining at a 5K race, I can also see that there are 4 year olds who will have fun with such a race. You don't know until you try. [/quote]
