My mom used to work at a children’s hospital, and if there’s one thing I learned from her, it’s that children are so much stronger than we are. They really are the superheroes of the world, and the 2018 Superhero 5k & Kid’s Obstacle Challenge in Tigard on August 18th celebrates that.

Race Preview: 2017 Kids Obstacle Challenge (Corbett)

July 22, 2017

Written by Nikki Mueller

I grew up in a house with fairly sedentary parents and I never really got involved in sports in school in part because I never really felt encouraged to do so at home.

Events like the Kids Obstacle Challenge on August 12th in Corbett are the…

My 10-year-old son has run several 5k races with me, and while he’s not terribly excited about running, he’s a good sport and completes the run.

The morning of the race, he was warming up to the idea a little bit, and by the time we arrived at Lee Farms, he was quite excited.

I fight with my kids on a daily basis to clean their faces and wash their hands, however on July 11th that fight will be null as I wallow through the mud with my 5 year old daughter.
