Event summary
Get ready for an exciting and active winter season with the Cold Weather Youth Running Group in Arlington! Kicking off on Monday, November 18, 2024, and running through January 13, 2025, this 8-week program is perfect for young runners aged 10 and up looking to stay active during the colder months. Each Monday at 5:00 PM, participants will gather at the Washington-Liberty High School track for fun, easy neighborhood and trail runs, typically covering distances of 2-3 miles. Parents are welcome to join for free, making this a fantastic opportunity for families to bond while promoting fitness.
As the program wraps up, participants will have the chance to showcase their hard work in an informal 5K run! With a relaxed pace and a focus on enjoyment rather than competition, Coach Kate will ensure everyone feels included and motivated. Plus, each young runner will receive a medal and certificate upon completion, making it a rewarding experience. Don’t miss this chance to keep moving and have fun with fellow youth runners in Arlington!

Organiser's description

Any change in meeting place will be announced the week before. **_Routes will be sent the Sunday before a Monday meet-up_.
This 8-WEEK, LOW-KEY GROUP will meet up to run some easy neighborhood and/or trail routes. The purpose is to have at least one afternoon every week that is guaranteed to be active during the darker, colder months! On our last meet-up, we will run an INFORMAL 5K TO WRAP THINGS UP!
DETAILS:
* MONDAYS AT 5:00PM (yes, it may be dark already, so please plan accordingly!)
* Starting NOVEMBER 18TH AND WRAPPING UP JANUARY 13TH - there will be no meetings on December 23rd or 30th.
* Most routes will involve 2-3 MILES OF RUNNING.
* Kids ages 10 & over may run without a parent/guardian; if your child is under 10, I would ask that you come along.
* Pace will be a rELAXED, CONVERSATION PACE - if you run with your kid(s) and want to go faster, have at it! But Coach Kate will maintain an easy jog to allow as many kids as possible to stay with the group.
* PARENTS RUN FOR FREE - if you'd like to join regardless of your runner's age, please do!
* This is a FUN RUN GROUP, not competitive.
* Coach Kate will send out WEEKLY EMAILS WITH TIPS AND TRICKS, but we won't be doing drills and/or structured speed work for this program. Suggestions for at-home work you can do with your kids will be provided.
* All youth runners will receive a MEDAL AND CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION at the end of the program!
* Please CHECK IN WITH COACH KATE at the end of every run.
* Should the weather prevent us from meeting, Coach Kate will do her best to schedule a make-up session.
