Push 5K, Boise

Mothers always stand behind their children. Push 5K races run with that notion, only there isn't much standing involved. The co-ed events send moms—and dads, aunts, uncles, and grandparents—around scenic routes just over 3 miles in length, all while pushing pint-sized racers in strollers. Along the courses, spectators and professional photographers snap pictures, and multiple water stations provide chances for kids to hop out and fill their water cannons.
