This session will take a deep dive into different running programs such as New York Road Runners and Marathon Kids. It will talk about the different incentives (for both students and organizations), opportunities, as well as curriculum/activities used through New York Road Runners. It is a free K-12 health and wellness program. My school was recognized as a top 5% in the Nation New York Road Runners Program. Participants will also participate in many NYRR physical activities/programming. I will also talk a lot about the opportunities with the Marathon Kids programming. They now have a free run tracking program as well as many lessons/curriculum. With the free run tracking program, it gives great data to have conversation on goal setting and becoming the best you in regards to health, running, and long term athletic development. I utilized the new Girls Movement Program which is a new initiative establishing running clubs tailored exclusively for 4th through 8th grade girls as they navigate the crucial transition through middle school. I will take participants through a lesson that builds community through teambuilding, pacing, athletic activity, and SEL. This character building program can be adapted and used with more than just 4th - 8th grade and not only for females. In addition to these free programs, I will also share the 100 Mile Club, AMPED as well as different running resources I have used over the years in the school setting.
