When Kade Lovell noticed there were no other kids on the course, he realized he made a mistake—but he wanted to finish the race.
He ended up finishing the 10K and winning it., beating the 40-year-old, second place finisher by nearly a minute.
Over by the finish line, Heather Lovell, Kade’s mom, stood waiting to cheer her son on as she did for most of his races. There were no youth cross-country teams in their hometown of St. Cloud, Minnesota, so 5Ks were how Kade got his racing in. “I ran to the finish line and found the coordinators and said someone needs to find him,” Heather said. “I’m freaking out, I’m crying, I’m flustered, and no one really knows what to do. A fireman is getting ready to search the course when I get a call my brother-in-law, who tells me there is a cute little kid in a red shirt running the 10K.”
Heather, unaware of the blunder that occurred and thinking Kade had just decided to run the 10K, was none too pleased when she finally saw him coming near the end.
