**Full Disclosure: This is a sponsored post but all opinions are my own.
I’ve done a couple of fun 5k races. Always with friends but never with my kids. I think my boys would have a blast getting muddy and racing through an obstacle course with Navy SEALs along side them! Do you think your kiddos enjoy something like an obstacle race?
TadPole Dash: The TadPole dash is for 4-8 year olds. The course has 8+ obstacles, through 400 meters, and is guaranteed to deliver a new experience of self-discovery. Children will learn they can take on these new and exciting challenges, while becoming “Fit for the Future”, getting totally muddy and having the time of their lives.
Navy SEALs run the race with the kids, motivating them, entertaining them, and helping them over the tough spots and inspire them with the spirit of never quitting, teamwork and always trying your best. Start a lifetime love of fitness and competition at the Tadpole Dash. http://battlefrogseries.com/tadpole-dash/
BullFrog Mile: For your slightly older kids there is the BullFrog Mile. Your children can test themselves on at least ten of the full-size obstacles the top competitors tackle, but with a more manageable distance of one mile. Designed for kids ages 8 to 13, your kids can sample the mud crawls, climbing walls, slip and slides and our “boot camp” military fitness exercise. All with Navy SEAL motivation throughout the course as your kids work with other racers as an individual or on a team. The BullFrog Mile combines the right amount of challenge with the right amount of fun. http://battlefrogseries.com/bullfrog-mile/
BattleFrog 8K: The BattleFrog course is a total test for people of all fitness levels from ages 13 and up. Each step is inspired by the training that forges SEAL operators and prepares them to do anything, anytime, anywhere. The approximate 8K course will take you through 22+ SEAL-inspired obstacles that use air, land and water to test your body, mind and spirit. http://battlefrogseries.com/

She might even meet her future husband that way! 😉

This looks like a really good event to go with the family. I bet it would be fun to see how everyone does on these obstacle courses. Meeting the Navy Seals would be neat too.

I wish I still had the stamina to do something like this. It looks like a fun thing to do with family members.
