Alpine Runners Kids Running Camp

The Alpine Runners are hosting a free kid’s running camp for kids ages 6 through 14 on Monday and Wednesday nights from 6:00pm to 6:30pm starting Monday, June 10 and going through Wednesday, September 25 at Paulus Park, 200 S. Rand Road, Lake Zurich. We continue the running camp through September so the kids will be able to participate in the Kids Alpine Races Sunday, September 29, 2013. For insurance, we do need the parents to register the kids at www.alpinerunners.com.

•    Why should children run?  Foundation Sport – Brings sense of Self
confidence – Teaches patience and discipline – Healthy life long sport – We
know if we can teach a child they can run and you have changed their life.

•    The reason to do sports is first and foremost for fun and to promote and
create a healthy lifestyle for your children.

4 keys for a kid’s running program – Pace, Patience, Practice, and most of all Fun.
