Cardio Kidz Summer Running Series!

Arlington Heights, IL 60004 US

Cardio Kidz is BACK this summer in Arlington Heights! Last summer we spread the mission to 107 runners, help us grow! Join us for a three (3) week running series for kids ages 2-14 of ALL ABILITIES. Each race takes place once a week on Sunday and offers age-appropriate running events including the 50 & 100-yard dashes, 1/4-mile, 1/2-mile and 1-mile run. Kids can register to run UP in distance for a greater challenge. An Alternate 1/4-mile race is available for 2nd-8th graders who are looking for a shorter race. And that's OK! We hope they will give it a try and will encourage them every step of the way! In addition to the physical benefits of running, the program aims to build social-emotional skills. The Cardio Kidz environment is great for the seasoned runner and also those who may never run before. We will focus on the word COURAGEOUS in age-appropriate discussions before each race and will track weekly progress to promote goal setting and increase self-confidence . The emphasis of this series is on self-improvement vs. competition with others. We realize that accomplishments look different for everyone, and it is our goal for every participant to make big strides and have FUN while doing so!

Pricing: $35 registration fee includes: Three (3) Weeks of Races, three (3) Race Bibs, Goal Tracker Sheet, Weekly Progress Report and Finisher Medal. $5 Sibling Discount. Registration is non-refundable.
