500 Festival Brings KidsFit Mobile Runs to Pike County Elementary School

Otwell- The 500 Festival is bringing the fun and excitement of a 500 Festival running event to Otwell Miller Academy with a Mobile Run as part of the 500 Festival KidsFit Program.

 Students in grades K-6 participate in this program to learn about the importance of fitness and how to pursue a healthy lifestyle. The program is free and customizable and meets the Indiana Department of Education’s Indiana State Academic Standards for Health and Physical Education.
