Event summary
Get ready for an exciting outdoor adventure with the Cold Weather Youth Running Group Part II, kicking off on February 3, 2025, at Washington-Liberty High School track in Arlington! This engaging 8-week program runs every Monday at 5:15 PM, wrapping up on March 31, 2025 (with a break on Presidents Day, February 17). Designed for kids ages 10 and up, this fun and friendly group will tackle easy neighborhood routes ranging from 1 to 3 miles, ensuring that everyone can find a distance that suits them.
Participants can look forward to a relaxed, conversation-paced environment where running is all about enjoyment and camaraderie, rather than competition. Each session will conclude with a small snack and the thrill of earning a medal and certificate of completion at the program's end. Plus, parents can join in the fun for free! As a special highlight, the final meet-up will feature an informal 5K, possibly incorporating track laps. Don't miss this chance to keep active during the colder months while making new friends and creating lasting memories!

Organiser's Description
We will meet_ _at Washington-Liberty high school track [https://www.arlingtonva.us/Government/Departments/Parks-Recreation/Locations/Parks/War-Memorial-Stadium] and go from there. **_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 routes of 1-3 miles. 3 route options of varying lengths will be offered before each meeting - you are free to choose whatever mileage works for you! 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! 5k route may involve track laps, depending on the group.
DETAILS:
* MONDAYS AT 5:15PM
* Starting FEBRUARY 3RD AND WRAPPING UP MARCH 31ST - there will be no meeting on February 17th (Presidents Day).
* Kids ages 10 & over may run without a parent/guardian, though they must stick with at least one adult along the route; 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 ALONG FOR FREE - you don't need to register and run at your own risk, of course, but the more, the merrier!
* This is a FUN RUN GROUP, not competitive.
* The kids will all receive a SMALL SNACK/TREAT at the end of each run - if you prefer your child not have that, please let Kate know.
* 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.
