A Minnesota mother’s panic turned to pride when her 9-year-old son went missing on a 5K race, only to later accidentally reappear at the finish line of the 10K race in the first place, ahead of all the adults.

Kade Lovell, who has been running since he was six, said that when he reached the 5K turn that should have separated the field into two races, he was told to keep going.
