The PeoriaParent.com team members are half-crazy half-marathoners. We love recreational running, and encourage our kids to be excited about it as well. The IVS Kids Running Series on the Proctor Hospital Campus on Monday Nights for $2 is highly recommended, if you haven’t checked it out yet. It’s encouraging with a lot of clapping and “wooting” for the tots to the big kids, followed by cookies, juice, & a ribbon prize. Below is a list of Kiddie Fun Runs (accompanying the grown-up races) in the area to encourage your young runner.

From Broad Branch Farms

We are Broad Branch Farm - a local organic family farm growing organic vegetables and raising pastured chickens for eggs and meat, pastured hogs and grass fed grass finished beef. We are growers, consumers, and strong advocates for local organic agriculture. We are raising 3 daughters on the farm and they have learned to appreciate from an early age the amazing food we raise here on the farm. And what we don't raise ourselves, we find local organic farmers who do.
