The Shakopee Kids Running Club is a fun and active program for students in grades 3–8 who enjoy running, being active, and having fun with friends! This program is designed for all ability levels, whether your child is an experienced runner or simply has lots of energy and enjoys being active outdoors. Participants will be introduced to the sport of cross country through fun running activities, games, and short workouts led by Shakopee High School cross country athletes and coaches. Each week will include a mix of movement, teamwork, and encouragement in a positive and welcoming environment. The program will also include weekly one-mile fun runs/races held on school grounds where participants can challenge themselves, cheer on teammates, and experience the excitement of race day in a supportive setting. The goal of the Shakopee Kids Running Club is to help kids build confidence, stay active, develop healthy habits, and discover that running can be fun! Participants should bring running shoes and a water bottle to each session. Meets 7 times.
