School Running Clubs, lunch mileage clubs, soccer teams, boy/girl scout groups all train together to complete their miles! Don't belong to a group training club? NO PROBLEM! You can train with your family and sign up on your own!

For as little as 30 minutes a week you could help guide kids in the right direction and help them stay motivated while they follow a training plan. Use one provided on the below, or make up your own!
