About the Event

Come learn and enjoy the benefits of running through a positive and rewarding experience for grades K-8th! The program is designed to inspire the runner in each child by offering fun, dynamic training along with running related games to increase fitness.

Program runs Monday and Wednesday evenings from 6:30pm to 8:00pm from June 8 through July 15. The program culminates with a meet on July 15 in the evening. All sessions take place at Forest Field in Centerville.

Cost for one child is $60 and each additional child in a family is $30.

Your child will be grouped by ability to meet individual needs. We have created three fun groups that will suit your children's needs based on their varying degree of development. The three groups are:

Lynx: My child can run but needs frequent walking breaks during running. They can run less than 2 minutes before needing a break. Sustained running for distance is new for my child.

Servals: My child can run about a mile or 8-12 minutes without requiring a break. My child has attempted sustained running for distance in a practice, race, or for fun.

Ocelot: My child has successfully sustained running a 5K during the past year.
