Celebrate opening day of the Olympics with your kiddos at the Kid-lympics Fun Run which takes place Friday, August 8th at the Nipher Middle School track, located next door to The Magic House.

This is the Magic House's first-ever Kid-lympics, where kids of all ages can act like Olympic athletes.

From www.magichouse.org:

Beginning at 8 a.m., Friday, August 8th, kids under 2 will toddle their way to the finish line in a Diaper Dash; ages 2-4 will hurry through the ribbon in a 50-yard Dash, ages 5-6 will speed to the end in a 100-yard Dash, and ages 7-9 will sprint like Olympians in a half-mile run. Each participant will be able to decorate a flag and all have the opportunity to decorate a number to place on their T-shirt, provided by The Magic House. In addition, participants will receive a gold medal and goody bag, and the winners of each race will be presented an additional prize.

The cost for this fun run is only $12 per person and includes admission to The Magic House. Space is limited and reservations are required. Visit www.magichouse.org or call (314) 822-8900 to make a reservation.
