Mighty Milers

Mighty Milers is a running program for kids of all fitness levels from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. It's designed to get kids moving and prevent obesity and illness. Participation in Mighty Milers helps kids build their self-esteem, and learn to make and reach personal goals.

 

Over the course of a program cycle, children in Mighty Milers strive to complete one to four “marathons of miles” (26.2 to 104.8 miles). They run or walk briskly upwards of a half-mile in supervised sessions two to five times a week.

 

Mighty Milers is easy to implement, and has a flexible structure so you can tailor the program for the unique needs of your school and environment. NYRR provides logistical, financial, and training support so that your staff members or adult volunteers can run the program at any school or community center.
