Our approach

Each week we will focus on the importance of the following: 

• Preparing Our Body Physically: Volunteer led stretches at the start line.

• Having a Positive Mindset: Age-appropriate discussions at the start line.

• Demonstrating Good sportsmanship: Weekly activity at the start line.

• Goal Setting: A Weekly Goal Tracker Sheet will be provided prior to the first race. Every runner is encouraged to set weekly goals that are meaningful to them, whether it be a time or a feeling they want to achieve. As an accountability aid, if they bring it to the race completed with a new goal each week, they will receive a stamp and a treat. 

• Your race, your pace mantra.  All kids develop at a different rate, and we have a race for everyone. You CAN register your child to run up to a distance that matches their physical ability and gives them the greatest sense of accomplishment. 

• Each week, Preschool races will receive placement results and K-8th grade will receive recorded times to track personal progress. 

• Every runner will be rewarded a season themed finisher medal at the final race. 

• We stive to provide a positive community environment where your child feels a sense of belonging. Children will be encouraged every step of the way with endless cheering and volunteer running buddies available for additional support.
