Youth Running Program
Whether as one's only organized weekly activity or as a complement to another sport, the focus of our Youth Running Program is on fun and fitness and personal bests. Throughout the session, we use fun games and activities that develop proper running form, stamina and speed. It is our primary goal to ensure that all participants finish the season with a passionate enthusiasm for running.

The Russell Run will be organizing a Trail Running Event in August 2022. Distance between 5 and 10 km - we aim to finish the route between 45 and 60 minutes.
Come out and explore the local trails. May include mud!
Run, walk, jog - all paces welcome.
Children and youth welcome. Those under 12 years of age must be accompanied by an adult or guardian.
Multiple route options will be provided so that we can start and finish together.
Group leaders will be available to support you in your run/walk/jog. We have a "no-drop" policy. Whatever your pace you should find someone to run/walk with.
