Kids Run Wild Training Program

If your kids like to run, then we have a fun program just for them: Kids Run WILD Training. This is a non-competitive program designed for kids age 6-12. It gives kids the opportunity to experience running in a fun, friendly atmosphere!

Our Mission: A great place for kids to run safely and correctly; learning to use good form, make friends and, get stronger/build endurance so they can perform better in other sports, intramurals or for the mile run in gym class. Most of all, our goal is to empower kids to accomplish their goals and instill in them a lifelong love of running. It is also a great opportunity for moms and dads or guardians to spend quality time with their kids and be physically active too!

Class format and program information: Practices are held at Cobbs Hill Park meeting at the Riley Lodge (100 Norris Drive). Our goal is to have kids running or walking a mile at each practice (but it will be more like 2 or 3 by the end of the program). During practices we will warm up, practice drills, play a running game, run quarter mile laps, and learn about form and stretching. Kids will earn prizes for milestones along the way! Practices will be 45 minutes long, and offered in 3 different weekly combinations to fit your schedule. The program concludes at the Fleet Feet Sports Summer Fest Race on Sunday, August 31st, where we will have a kids’ graduation ceremony. Kids’ are also encouraged to run the kids races to show off their well-earned speed and endurance running skillz!
