This program is designed for youth ages 5-12 and is a combination of running on their own and group opportunities. Our coaches will help inspire your young runners through games, encouragement and FUN! Every week, the group gets together at Hart Park in Wauwautosa, plays some "warm up run" games, has a brief life-lesson talk and finally goes for a group run at their own pace to help build up the miles. The Program caps off with "Graduation Day: by having your child participate for no additional cost in either the Kids Only 1.2-mile or the LFM 5k run, both races finish through the Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon chute just before the marathon runners come through on October 2, 2022. The LFM 5K is open to the public so family and friends can register and join in the fun. You have to see the kids faces....PRICELESS!....but it costs only $25 for the whole program.
Each Child registered by Aug 2nd will be guaranteed an official Strider Youth Program t-shirt. Shirts will be handed out at the first 2 sessions. Shirts may not be available after August 2nd so sign up today.
