Welcome to Pacers Kids Club 7 Week After School Running Program!

Pacers Kids Club is an after-school running program for 3rd through 5th grade boys and girls designed to introduce kids to the joy of running, movement, and teamwork. Led by Pacers Running and coached by local parents and running leaders Julie Culley and Chris Farley, the club focuses on building confidence, staying active, and having fun through running games, group runs, and simple lessons about perseverance and healthy habits.

The club will meet every Friday from 2:50 pm to 3:50 pm at Long Branch Elementary School beginning April 10 and continuing through May 22, culminating with students participating in a goal 5K together. The program cost is $150 per participant and includes weekly coaching sessions and a Pacers Kids Club t-shirt. All experience levels are welcome!
