The Program

The RunStrong Kids program is a program for 8-13 year old kids that combines running (training for a 5k running event) with curriculum-based activities that encourage social, mental, and physical health in addition to character development.

Each class will teach boys and girls the fundamentals of running and at the conclusion they will complete a scheduled 5k race. The class will also focus on being happy with who you are and treating others the way that you want to be treated. We will also focus on Lung Cancer awareness and the advantages of living a smoke-free, healthy life.

Sessions will include: warm-ups, fun games and relays, running, video or guest speaker. RunStrong Values : Honesty – being honest helps others trust me, Respect – showing respect for others shows I respect myself, Kindness – making others feel good, Courage – being brave, Responsibility – doing what I know is right, Self Worth – feeling good about myself.
