Over 200 Murfreesboro City School children will compete this Friday in the TryBoroKids Race. TryBoro is a program to challenge kids to get out and be active. Students have been preparing for the TryBoroKids 2.5k/5k race challenge by logging physical activities since February.
"We want our students to be active, " says Kymberly Campbell, MCS Coordinated School Health. "Whether they are playing tag or running a marathon, a child needs to be moving. That's the goal of the TryBoroKids Challenge."
The TryBoroKids Challenge 2.5/5 k is Friday, May 11th for students ages 5-14. Registration is from 4:30-6:00 pm and the 2.5k race begins at 6:30 pm under the lights at Gateway Island in Murfreesboro. The race is open to all students from any school that would like to participate.
TryBoroKids is a partnership of TryBoroKids, Center for Physical Activity and Health in Youth, Murfreesboro City Schools, Tennessee Coordinated School Health and Murfreesboro Parks and Recreation.
