I know the distance is 2km but are they many other 4 year olds and would she end up being the last finisher?

Depends on your local one really - you do have a huge range of paces though from 13 year old club runners running a sub-4 min km to four year olds stopping to smell every flower along the way and mixing running and walking. Last finisher at my local one last weekend was just under 19 minutes, to give an idea.

If you want to get an idea of what your local one is like before you bring her, why not volunteer first? It counts towards your 25 volunteering efforts for the t-shirt.
