<div class="mol-para-with-font"><span style="font-size:small;">And if they have energy to spare after finding the wooden eggs, about 250 of them will join first lady Michelle Obama for a run.</span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font"><span style="font-size:small;">The &#8216;fun run&#8217; is the latest addition to an event that began in 1878 and now includes storytelling, musical performances and tips from professional athletes on how to play basketball, tennis and other sports. </span></div>

<div class="mol-para-with-font"><span style="font-size:small;">&#8216;Today is bitter sweet for us because this is the last Obama administration Easter egg roll,&#8217; Michelle told the crowds. </span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font"><span style="font-size:small;">Praising her husband, she told the crowd she was amazed by what their administration has accomplished in seven years, including &#8216;opening up the White House to as many people as many backgrounds as possible&#8217; and &#8216;exposing families to healthy living&#8217;. </span></div>
<div class="mol-para-with-font"><span style="font-size:small;">She also gave a mention to the military families present at the event. </span></div>
