FASKIDZ
THE LOVE OF RUNNING STARTS HERE
FasKidz is back for its 16th season! This popular youth running program is led by YMCA staff and volunteers with well over a century of running and racing experience. Children ages 8-12 will learn about running form, best ways to train, basic nutrition, injury prevention, how running can impact their health, running etiquette, safety on the road, racing strategies and more. The season ends on Memorial Day with an all-out, one mile race experience at the 33rd annual Memorial Mile, a point to point course straight down Rt 224 in Boardman!
To keep the program fresh, we’ll meet at a variety of locations including the Y, the Hike/Bike trail in Mill Creek Park, the Metroparks bike trail in Canfield, Wick Recreation Area and Boardman HS for a little cross country and speedwork on the track.
FasKidz 2025 meets Mondays and Thursdays beginning Thursday, April 14 with workouts 4:45 to 5:45 pm (give or take). Additional details on the program including layout, goals, schedule, locations etc. are available at the link below.
