Youth & Family Fitness

Many of us now have little ones at home. How do we incorporate a love of fitness within them? How do we incorporate them into our fitness regimens and runs? We hope to update this page over time, adding more information. For now, here are a few quick tidbits!

RUNNING & YOUTH

Since we are mostly runners, we’ll start with that! Want to encourage your kids to run with you, but not sure how far is too far? Safe running distances, as recommended by RRCA in their post “Fundamentals of youth running” are recapped below.

Children 5 and under // “dash” events that range from a few yards to 400 meters
Children 5 and over /// kids fun runs that are a ½ to 1 mile long, but allow for a combination of running and walking
Children ages 12 and over // 5K run
Children ages 15 and older // 10K to half marathon event
Children 18 and older // marathon
