Petworth Peanuts is a local parents group that connects and supports parents of babies and young children in the Greater Petworth community. Join them at Sherman Circle starting at 8am with your young children for a Kids Fun Run in the heart of Petworth! The 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 that morning, and every young runner will receive a finishers medal!

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.
All parents and caregivers are invited to join FIT4MOM DC for a special 45-minute Stroller Strides class, 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!
