    My kid runs all the time. We don't force him to do it. He just loves it.

    I think as long as they are having fun and aren't being pushed, no age is too young. My son ran his first 5K last year at 9 years old in about 24 minutes. He just ran another 5K this past weekend and would like to do a 10K by the end of the summer. I see kids his age or younger at a lot of events. Many events also hold special kids runs that are from a few hundred yards to a mile long and they are always packed with toddlers to pre-teens - there are runners of all ages out there!
