Ready to Run (K-5th)

The core objectives of the Kids Run This Town training program are to develop physical, emotional and social skills. We transform traditional running games and drills into powerful life lessons. Each week kids will engage in an organized, goal-oriented running program that combines instruction on key running concepts with practical demonstrations of and participation in running activities. Kids will develop character skills, such as good sportsmanship, perseverance, keeping a positive attitude, setting and achieving goals, and understanding the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. 

The Kids Run This Town training program lasts one hour and is divided into three main areas. Warm-up and discussion, drill of the day, and end of class game. We want children to leave practice both sweaty and smiling. Participants will be encouraged to engage in running/walking or other physical activities every other day to absorb the concept of regular physical activity. Kids Run This Town training program emphasizes participation in the sport of running as part of a healthy lifestyle, regardless of pace, experience, or ability level. This program is ideal for new runners in grades K-5th.
