From the organizer

This 6-week program will help kids of all ages build their running endurance and know when to play it safe and when to turn on the gas! Most sports Arlington kids play require running - either anaerobic bursts or more continuous aerobic efforts - so we will work on building their base while having fun.

Default meeting place of Oak Grove Park (link below). We may make use of the immediate neighborhood sidewalks and/or nearby Washington Liberty HS track. Coach Kate will let parents know the day before if there is a change in meeting point.

Details:

Tuesdays at 5:15pm. Meeting at Oak Grove Park . Starting April 7th and wrapping up on May 12th . Appropriate for kids of all ages, though parents should expect to participate (at no cost) with younger children. Parents run along for free - you don't need to register and run at your own risk, of course, but you are encouraged to join! The kids will all receive a post-run snack at the end of each run. All kids will receive a medal and trophy at the end of the program - help your kids work toward that goal!
