Introduction

Young Runners is an after-school running program that teaches New York City youth of all fitness levels to run distances ranging from 1 to 6.2 miles. Through team practices and events, Young Runners increase their running performance and learn about perseverance, teamwork, and healthy habits for life.

New York Road Runners (NYRR) provides training, resources, and staff support, plus incentives for the children as they achieve individual goals.
