Developmental Track & Field
The Developmental Track and Field Series is a comprehensive spring program for kids of all athletic abilities in grades 3–8 currently attending New York City public schools. Students learn about and develop active lifestyles through running, throwing, and jumping events. This program is ideal for schools with running teams, a group of students eager to try a new sport, or an enthusiastic coach-teacher who wants to get kids moving.
Started in 2004, the series is FREE for all New York City public schools, thanks to a collaborative partnership between the New York City Department of Education’s Office of School Wellness Programs and New York Road Runners.
