Flash Fit's Fall Running Skills & Drills (Youth Runners) Race Information

<p>This 6-week program is geared toward youth athletes roughly <em>10 years and older </em>looking to improve their running form and pacing. Most sports Arlington youth play require running - either anaerobic bursts or more continuous aerobic efforts - so we will work on building their base, knowing when to turn on the gas, and all paces in between.</p> <p>We will plan to meet at the <a href="https://www.arlingtonva.us/Government/Departments/Parks-Recreation/Locations/Parks/War-Memorial-Stadium" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Washington-Liberty High School track</a>. If a W-L sports event closes the track to public use, Coach Kate will notify parents ahead of time (if/when possible). If the track is closed, we will meet at the nearby <a href="https://www.arlingtonva.us/Government/Departments/Parks-Recreation/Locations/Parks/Oak-Grove-Park" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Oak Grove Park</a>.</p> <p><strong>Details:</strong></p> <ul><li><strong>Wednesdays at 6:00pm </strong>(finished by 6:45pm)</li><li>Starting <strong>16 September </strong>and wrapping up on <strong>21 October</strong><strong>.</strong></li><li><strong>Parents are welcome to participate</strong> - you don&#39;t need to register and run at your own risk, of course.
