Press Release: Get Ready, Get Set, Go! Children’s Running School begins this Summer in June

                Take…The First Step will host a 4 week Kids Running School beginning in June for kids 6-12 years of age. Kids Running School will be focusing on developing cardiovascular fitness and a healthy lifestyle program. This program, sponsored by Take…The First Step, will also include Moms and/or Dads so they can take part in becoming a “fit family”. The actual program contains a curriculum and seminars which progresses in content and activity week by week for four weeks. The participants will not only improve cardiovascular capacity, but learn overall conditioning skills such as proper running technique, form, pacing, stretching, and eating healthy plus other components found in a fit lifestyle. The main goal is for the kids to learn the joy of movement and develop a sense of accomplishment on completing successfully a specific athletic goal.

RRCA Running Coach Lynn Gray of Take…The First Step, will be the “main teacher” and will lead each Saturday lesson with both child and parent(s). Each parent will be given a curriculum with the lessons to follow and the child will be given an official Children’s’ Running Logbook to report their daily exercise progress each week. The four week course will conclude with a pinnacle ½ mile race in North Tampa.

Sign up is available at Take…The First Step.  Or via Paypal.  Payment of $75.00 will cover 4 lessons, logbooks, curriculum, plus “goodies” for the kids after their weekly running lesson. There will be 15 spaces available for kids.
