The Bite Sized Run is a half mile run with kid friendly zombies. All participants get a reward bag filled with fun goodies. The reward bag also doubles as a candy sack that can be used during the Trunk or Treat and Zombie Scavenger Hunt after the run. There will also be a costume contest, face painting, and lots of other fun activities for the kids.
Get Active!
Physical activity is an essential component of a healthy lifestyle. In combination with healthy eating, it can help prevent a range of chronic diseases, including heart disease, cancer, and stroke, which are the three leading causes of death. Physical activity helps control weight, builds lean muscle, reduces fat, promotes strong bone, muscle and joint development, and decreases the risk of obesity. Children need 60 minutes of play with moderate to vigorous activity every day to grow up to a healthy weight.
Engaging in physical activity as a family can be a fun way to get everyone moving. Studies show that kids who believe they are competent and have the skills to be physically active are more likely to be active. And those who feel supported by friends and families to become active, or surrounded by others interested in physical activity, are more likely to participate.
