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.

Training culminates in their own KIDS-only race. They will get to participate in their race, receive medals for a job well done, and eat a great meal by the famous MRTC cookers.
