Fit For Life kids running program underway
The Fit For Life Kids Challenge is a free incentive-based fitness program for elementary school-aged children throughout the metro Richmond area. The program encourages youth to run 26 miles over the course of a 10-week period.
The program is flexible and allows for teachers, volunteers, and parents to take the initiative to get kids started in the program.
Participants in the Fit For Life Kids Challenge track their progress on a Running Log (coloring sheet.) Students receive incentive prizes at the 5, 10, 15, and 20 mile marks along their way. These incentive items are coupons that are attached to the coloring log and are redeemable at Sports Backers Stadium or through your teacher at your school if your school is participating in the Kids Challenge.
