Calling all the MINI MILERS!
Do you have a kid who just loves to run? Or maybe you’re looking for a fun way to engage the whole family in movement? Maybe your little athlete could use some time with kids their own age? Sounds like Mini Milers is perfect for your family!
Perfect for kids age 5 to 11, but we love to see grown ups joining their little runners, too! This quick and easy 6-week program is a great way to engage those little brains during the summertime, by moving their bodies AND making friends at the same time. Each kiddo will receive a Mini Milers T-Shirt!
What to Expect:
Meeting on Thursday evenings at Rivers Edge North - Reserve Ave, each week will start out with a warm up, followed by different games, and concluded with a warm down (and maybe popsicles). The last week will culminate in a "field meet" where kids will participate in their favorite games from the previous weeks.
Pricing:
