Kids will learn how to run the on trails, they will learn to pace themselves and they will learn that running can be fun and rewarding. Running is no longer a form of punishment!

The Kick Off will take place at the Boulder Running Company Wednesday, April 28th 6:00 pm. Discounts on running shoes and equipment will be offered, we will go over the details of the Series and kids will be encouraged to ask questions! This clinic is optional.
