What age is it ok for a female child to run her first 5K?
She wants to try one but im not sure if it may be unhealthy for a child her age. BTW she is completely healthy and about average height and weight for her age. Thanks

I did my first 5k when i was in 4th grade.
So i was about 10 or 9 and i was pretty unhealthy at that time... So i think a healthy 8 year old could do it.

I started running cross country in 2nd grade and I did my first 6k at the start of 3rd grade.. so.. I was like 8 or 9?
I think most kids could do it even younger, as long as they'd practiced and weren't just going for it.
Arthur ran a 5k (on tv) and he's only 8 :P)
