📚 Program Overview
The MRTC KIDS! Run program focuses on children in the community and teaches them a sport we all love - running! Training is based on the children's ages and abilities. In the training program, the kids learn to maintain proper form when running and how to complete their assigned distance.
🌟 Core Values
MRTC KIDS! Run centers on four core values - NAPS
- Nutrition: Healthy eating habits are encouraged.
- Activity: Promotes regular physical exercise.
- Perseverance: Teaches resilience in the face of challenges.
- Self-esteem: Builds confidence through achievements.
💡 Training Guidelines
MRTC KIDS! Run uses RRCA's Kids Run the Nation Program Guide and children are taught that proper nutrition and hydration are important in daily actions.
In addition, our coaches give instruction on how to run safely, the importance of a warm up and cool down, stretching, running etiquette, and how to have fun while you exercise.
