1. Ages 5 and under
2. Ages 6-8

The rules of the event will be simple, and all children who finish the event will be awarded.  Special awards will be presented for the top three places in each event.  Everyone will get a t-shirt, and those who complete the event will get a medal.  Completing means you must do at least one pushup and finish the ½ mile run.

1. The back must be generally straight and the competitor must have feet and hands in contact with the ground only.

2. Each child will be given 30 seconds to complete as many correct pushups as they can.
