YOUTH RUNNING
For Elementary and Middle School Boys & Girls | Ages 6-14
Finishing a 5K is an impressive achievement at any age. Imagine the sense of accomplishment and pride your child will feel when they cross the finish line of their first 5K. MPower Youth Running will prepare them to do just that.
Modeled after popular Couch-to-5K plans, MPower’s training program is designed for all levels of runners: from very beginners to experienced racers. We will concentrate on proper form and pacing while we build endurance over the weeks through a combination of running drills, games, and core strength exercises. If your child loves to run, wants to build endurance for other sports, or just wants to try something new, register soon!
