Event runs and kids question

[Deleted]

Silly question. My husband and I are both runners and like doing organized events. Up until now we both run the same races and hire a babysitter to stay with our son at home. He is 5 now and quite a few of our upcoming runs are family oriented with tons of kids events after that we would like to have our son there too.
Bringing a grandparent isn't an option so what do you normally do?
I guess we could bring the babysitter with us just have her drive separate and leave when we are done running? Other ideas? Thank you!

That sounds like the best option to me.

I've had a baby sitter at a race before. It's the easiest option.

i think that sounds like a great idea.
