youth running program

"My daughter... LOVES Ready, Set, RUN! She is fond of the coaches, enjoys the other children, and is feeling great about her running. She has been noticing her muscles "growing" and is excited to go every time. It's been a great self-esteem builder for her, in addition to being great exercise."

"I was talking to the coach this morning and said he can't wait for each session. He said the kids are great, almost like one big family. He is really enjoying this program. Although our coach has several kids in this program that have participated in other programs with him in the past, we have a lot of new kids that are participating with him for the first time in the Ready, Set, Run. I believe we are reaching a different group of children and filling another recreational need with this program by helping them to be active and learn many values while having fun."

Ready, Set, RUN!

 

Overview

Ready, Set, Run! is an “easy-to-run” program designed to build confidence and character in its participants while working toward the goal of completing a 5K run.  Running is a healthy exercise alternative for children that are apprehensive about traditional team sports. In addition to running, the program places an emphasis on life skill development and offers participants an opportunity to learn about and take part in things such as healthy eating habits, positive goal setting, giving back to the community and more!
