Amberly Sugar Rush

Our 2026 Youth Run Form Clinic is brought to you by Triangle Run Smart Training, presented by Pace Yourself Run Company and The Running PTs.

Come join us for our Youth Run Form Clinic on Friday, June 5, 2026 from 6:30-7:30pm at the Mills Park Middle School track & field in Cary!

This 1-hour clinic is focused on teaching young runners ages 9–13 how to improve their running form, which is key to running efficiently and preventing injury. Along with run form, participants will learn essential dynamic warm-up drills and cool-down stretches to support safe and effective training—whether they’re just starting out or already logging miles.

Led by a positive, experienced coach (RRCA and USATF certified), the clinic combines fun technique work and drills designed to help runners move with confidence and efficiency.

Open to ages 9-13. Participants should be able to comfortably run for at least 15 minutes without stopping, (any pace).

This clinic is a great opportunity for young runners to build strong running habits, boost performance, and reduce injury.

Cost of the clinic is $25. No refund and no credit if you drop from the race after registering.

Cost includes: participation in the 1-hour run form clinic

Clinic is capped at 20 participants.

Coach Holly Kane will coach this event.
