7-8 Week Program | 1 Session Every Week
Program Cost: $129*
Program for 1st-6th grade only, no exceptions
Registration opens February 16, 2025 at 8 AM
Programs begin March 4 or later depending on location. Most begin the week of March 17
** In Spring 2025 with changes to early release days, some school programs are 6-7 weeks and others are 8 weeks. Some schools will change times and others will not hold a class on an early release day. In addition, some schools begin as early as 3/4 while others do not start until the more traditional mid-March. These variations are so we can continue to offer the programs given the scheduling constraints associated with the schools. All locations will not hold sessions during spring break, 3/30-4/30. We appreciate your understanding!
RunFit Kidz is offered at local elementary schools in partnership with the PTA/PTO/school leadership. Spring schools are included in the registration options -- area schools share program details through school-specific communications processes. We hope to add additional schools for Fall 2026. Please contact us if you are school representative or parent sponsor.
