About SoleKIDS

The SoleKIDs adventure is an eight-week after-school running program geared towards elementary students and is uniquely designed to get your child ready for a season-ending 5K race. Each week we will focus on a subject about running. Your runner will learn things like: the importance of positive thinking, running using the correct form, breathing control, and goal setting.

The SoleKIDS Mantra

I am BRAVE. I am STRONG. I am SMART. I am KIND. SoleKIDS repeat this mantra together at the end of every practice. The mantra fosters confidence and helps to promote self-esteem in our runners.

Why the SoleKIDS program?

We at SoleKIDs know that every runner is uniquely special. Therefore, we’ve designed a program that helps all runners individually. Our program is designed to plant positives every step of your runner’s journey. Planting these positives will help your runner foster confidence and promote self-esteem. Ensuring your runner has a wonderful, successful journey is the primary goal of the SoleKIDs experience.
