6 Week Outdoor Run Club - Ages 6-12

Class Details

Join us for six weeks of fitness and fun! In this class, we will be using games to focus on basic fitness activities such as running, agility, strength and stretching. We believe that fitness involves both body and mind, so our curriculum centers around empowerment skills like using power words (I am strong! I am determined!) and the importance of a positive mindset. This class is appropriate for older 6 to age 12.


During our final class, each student will have a chance to put all they have learned into practice during our end-of-class Medal Challenge! The Medal Challenge is a fun, empowering and character building part of our curriculum. Using everything we have learned during our weeks together, the coach will give all the kids a running/fitness challenge to complete (age and fitness level will be considered). The challenges will take some effort but be attainable with hard work. Medals have to be earned, but your child will have the pride of knowing they worked hard and rose to the challenge!


If you have any questions before registering let us know.

6 Week Outdoor Run Club - Ages 4-6

Class Details

Kids ages 4-6 will build their empowerment vocabulary and fitness skills while having tons of fun! We believe that fitness involves both body and mind, so we work to build up both through fun, active games that reinforce what we've learned and keep kids moving. Every week we will focus on a new power word, like “I am strong!” and “I am brave!” We will also work on fitness skills like learning different running paces, agility/balance, posture and more. This class is appropriate for age 4 to younger 6.


During our final class, each student will have a chance to put all they have learned into practice during our end-of-class Medal Challenge! The Medal Challenge is a fun, empowering and character building part of our curriculum. Using everything we have learned during our weeks together, the coach will give all the kids a running/fitness challenge to complete (age and fitness level will be considered). The challenges will take some effort but be attainable with hard work. Medals have to be earned, but your child will have the pride of knowing they worked hard and rose to the challenge!
