LET'S GO!!!
The MRTC KIDS! Run program focuses on children in the community and teaches them a sport we all love - running! Training is based on the children's ages and abilities. In the training program the kids learn to maintain proper form when running and how to complete their assigned distance.
MRTC KIDS! Run centers on four core values - NAPS
* Nutrition
* Activity
* Perseverance
* Self-esteem
MRTC KIDS! Run uses RRCA's Kids Run the Nation Program Guide and children are taught that proper nutrition and hydration are important in daily actions.
In addition, our coaches give instruction on how to run safely, the importance of a warm up and cool down, stretching, running etiquette, and how to have fun while you exercise.
Training culminates in their own KIDS-only race. They will get to participate in their race and will receive goodies plus a Finisher Item!
