Cardio Kidz Fall Running Series- Fort Myers
About this race
Cardio Kidz is BACK THIS FALL in Fort Myers!
Our Winter and Spring series were a great success spreading the mission to over 150 inspiring runners. We are so excited for the community to come together and do all again this Fall!
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 distance.
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 word of affirmation 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. heavy 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, Cardio Kidz Swag, Goal Tracker Sheet, Weekly Progress Report and Finisher Medal.
$5 Sibling Discount.
Registration is non-refundable.
