Sharing our joy of running

Running has been part of our lives from a young age. But it doesn't always come instinctively to kids.

Our goal is to share the joy of collective movement with kids and nurture their lifelong love of physical activity.

Let's Make it Fun

We believe running should be focused on fun, instead of competition.

Our program incorporates many different games and activities to engage kids in running more.

What we do

Our practices start with a few minutes of easy running. Then we do our dynamic warmup routine to teach fine motor skills. Depending on age and skill level will then do relay races, structured interval workouts or activity stations.

We keep the kids moving and adapt the sessions to their abilities.

Long Term Athlete Development

We will work within the LTAD model developed by Sport Canada to introduce the right amount of running depending on the age of the kids.
