Get ready to lace up your running shoes for the Frederick County Parks and Recreation Youth Running Club, kicking off on August 18, 2025, in Winchester, Virginia! This exciting program is designed for young runners ages 7 to 14, regardless of their experience level. Over the course of the season, which runs until October 15, participants will meet every Monday and Wednesday from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM, focusing on building endurance, improving running form, and most importantly, having fun!

Young athletes will have the opportunity to participate in two thrilling local races: the Trails 4 Miles on October 11 and the Thanksgiving Day 5K on November 27. The program emphasizes not just running skills, but also teamwork and proper techniques, with sessions held at the parking lot of Redbud Elementary. Runners are encouraged to bring their own running shoes, water, and a healthy snack to stay energized. Join us for an unforgettable season of running, camaraderie, and personal growth!
