Programs
Fitness for Kids
Free programs for kids who need it most.
NYRR teaches kids in underserved schools to run; the children also learn about setting and achieving goals. Kids without physical education in their schools often don’t learn these
lessons. More about Mighty Milers and Young Runners. A Team for Adult Runners
