Kids Run Club at Home

In the meantime, you can try out Kids Run Club workouts from home. If your school isn’t having a Kids Run Club this fall but you still want to follow the structure and be active at home, you can! The following guide will help you put together fun weekly workouts until the virtual Active SWV Kids Fall Fun Fitness Challenge launches.

At a typical Kids Run Club practice, participants will warm-up, do some running, play a game or other activity, and finish with some form of a cool down. Take a look at the resources below and recreate a Kids Run Club workout in whatever space you have available. Use one of these sheets every week to track and record the activities you’ve done.
