About Cardio Kidz:
Empowering Young Runners

Skill Development
Each week we will focus on the importance of the following:
- Preparing Our Body Physically: Volunteer led stretches at the start line.
- Having a Positive Mindset: Age-appropriate discussions at the start line.
- Demonstrating Good sportsmanship: Weekly activity at the start line.
- Goal Setting: A Weekly Goal Tracker Sheet will be provided prior to the first race. Every runner is encouraged to set weekly goals that are meaningful to them, whether it be a time or a feeling they want to achieve. As an accountability aid, if they bring it to the race completed with a new goal each week, they will receive a stamp and a treat.
Personal Growth

- Each week, Preschool races will receive placement results and K-8th grade will receive recorded times to track personal progress.
- Every runner will be rewarded a season themed finisher medal at the final race.
Community and Support
