Get ready for an exciting summer of fun and fitness with the GRC Youth Summer Running Program, kidsRUNthistown! Kicking off on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, and running through to July 14, this vibrant program takes place in Gadsden, Etowah, and is open to all children aged 14 and underβ€”completely free of charge! Over the course of seven weeks, participants will have the opportunity to stay active while setting personal running goals, aiming for either 13 miles (half marathon) or 26 miles (full marathon).

Every Tuesday at 6 PM, kids will gather for group runs, fostering camaraderie and encouraging a love for running. They'll track their miles, both from group sessions and home runs, and at the end of the program, there will be a special awards celebration to recognize their hard work and dedication. Safety is a top priority, so parents are encouraged to discuss group run rules with their children before hitting the trails. Don't forget to bring water and stay updated on any schedule changes by following the GRC Youth Running Group on Facebook. Let’s make this summer one to remember with running, friendship, and plenty of smiles!

Organiser's Description

The GRC Summer Running Program is designed to keep children active during the summer months. This program is offered for all children ages 14 and under. There is no fee to participate. The program starts Tuesday, June 2, 2026. Itll last seven weeks. Children will keep a log of how many miles they run during the seven weeks. They will need to set a goal of 13 miles (half marathon) or 26 miles (full marathon). Each week we will offer a group run to give the kids a chance to run and play together. They can count the miles they run with the group and miles they run at home as part of the program. During group runs, children will be required to follow the group leaders rules. Please discuss safety with them prior to the runs. They must follow the rules for their safety and the safety of the group. We will offer an end of the summer awards celebration to honor the kids for all their hard work.

Group Runs begin Tuesday June 2, 2026. All runs will be on Tuesdays and begin AT 6pm at various locations.

Like our Facebook page GRC Youth Running Group and our REMIND CLASS @GRCYO There is a chance the location of the run could change. We will update the GRC Youth Running Group page if there are changes to the group run schedule. Remember to BRING WATER!
