About KRTN
Kids Run the Nation (KRTN) is a year-around developmental running program for young athletes ages 4 & up.  Our primary goal is to help young athletes discover the joys and benefits of an active life through running.

We challenge our athletes with new workouts every week.
​Our distance runners get faster, the"speed demons" gain endurance. Everyone gains confidence.  
 
Weekly practices also include extensive drills to improve running form,  along with strength training and agility work.  

We end every practice with a running Game. Our favorite--Shark & Minnows  (Can you win the "Silver Shark?" )

Each week, every athlete receives a colorful "Foot Charm" to add to their collection. Plus, our coaches award the coveted "Big Foot" for overall excellence in 
performance and sportsmanship to an athlete in each group.
