Up and Running Jr’s
Come learn and enjoy the benefits of running through a positive and rewarding experience! Your child will be grouped by ability to meet individual needs. We have created three fun groups that will suit your children’s needs based on their varying degree of development. The three groups are:
Lynx – My child can run but needs frequent walking breaks during running. They can run less than 2:00 before needing a break. Sustained running for distance is new for my child.
Servals – My child can run about a mile or 8-12 min. without requiring a break. My child has attempted sustained running for distance in a practice, race, or for fun.
Ocelot – My child has successfully sustained running a 5K during the past year.
Juniors 2022 will start on Monday, June 6th and finish Thursday, July 14th taking place at Forrest Field Park! Cost: $60 for 1st child in family and $30 for additional children in family.
