STRIDE

The purpose of the STRIDE program is to foster strong character and healthy living habits among boys in grades 3rd-5th. It is a fun, interactive program filled with games and activities that gets boys exploring and discussing important life topics, while participating in fitness and running activities.

Over an eight-week period, students learn to make healthier choices, build a greater sense of confidence, and practice their athletic skills through a commitment to running. At the end of a running season, students participate in a local 5k race!

Students are required to have appropriate running shoes (no Chuck Taylors or flat soled shoes, please), a reliable ride for the 5:00 PM pickup time, and a positive attitude! Students may miss no more than 2 practices. More than 2 missed practices will result in students being let go from their running group.

This program is run in collaboration with the Wilson Family YMCA. For more information, click here.
