Milestones Running Club 8-Week Running Empowerment Program

This program is not like a track or cross country club (or like our 5k Training Program) that is focused exclusively on running. It’s an empowerment program that uses running as a tool to teach invaluable lessons about effort, character, mindset, teamwork, and more. We bring together kids of different ages, schools, and backgrounds to get outside to play, burn off lots of energy, learn, and feel confident by pushing themselves and working hard. Kids will gain fitness, make new friends, and sharpen skills in running, balance, agility, leadership, communication, teamwork, and positive thinking.

Our approach to running is game-based and kid-friendly. Each class in our 8-week program covers a different running skill and empowerment principle, demonstrated through fun games, drills, and lessons.

This running 101 is challenging for both beginners and advanced athletes - because everyone is measured by their own effort, based on their current capabilities. This inclusive program is for ALL kids willing to have a good attitude and try their best. Great for kids who don't play other sports - to give them a team feeling. And also great for kids who use our program to enhance their running abilities for other sports they play.

We work with children of all fitness levels, including those who don’t consider themselves athletes or runners. And athletes who use our program to improve their fitness while having fun, helping them to excel in other sports. Regardless of athletic ability, children in our program have fun with our innovative curriculum and games. We also regularly coach children who are high functioning with autism spectrum disorders and ADHD. Despite fitness level or perceived limitations, children who have a good attitude and who are willing to try their best do well.

Program fee includes shirt, water bottle, stickers, bracelet, or other gear.
