Join your neighbors for pre-festival family fun the morning of Celebrate Petworth!
This year, we're excited to bring three fun pre-festival activities! Join your neighbors on Saturday, September 23, before the festival begins, for a Kids Fun Run, Stroller Strides and Yoga for Movers & Shakers. All of these great activities are free to participate in, but registration is required.
Kids Fun Run @ 8:00am
Sponsored by Petworth Peanuts
Petworth Peanuts, which connects and supports parents of babies and young children in the Greater Petworth community, invites you and your young kids for a kids fun run in the heart of Petworth! The entire organized fun run will take place inside of Sherman Circle, going from the inner ring to the outer ring and finishing in the middle again. Runners will receive a bib to wear the morning of, and every young runner will receive a finishers medal!
Location: Sherman Circle
Time: 8:00am-8:45am.
For ages 3-10 years old
Jogging strollers are welcome, but must be in the back of the starting line. Parents and caregivers are welcome to run with their kids. Runners will be in staggered age groups: 3-5 yrs; 6-8 yrs; and 9-10 yrs.
Stroller Strides @ 9:00am
Sponsored by FIT4MOM DC
All parents and caregivers are invited to join FIT4MOM DC for a special 45-minute Stroller Strides class. Stroller Strides is a total-body workout with strength, cardio, and core training, all while engaging the little ones in a stroller! You’ll leave class feeling strong, empowered, connected, and energized. All you need for class is some water and a good pair of sneakers. Adult participants should be cleared to workout by their health care provider, and our littlest participants should be in a stroller or a soft, structured carrier through class. No special stroller needed! All fitness levels welcome! If you have questions, reach out to KellyReid@fit4mom.com.
