Mini Milers is launching this Spring!
Planning for the 2023 Mini Milers program is currently underway. If your school is not engaged but would like to be involved, please reach out to youth@runvermont.org or call 802-863-8412.
Mini Milers Details
The Mini Milers program gives elementary school children access to fitness, good nutrition, community service and goal setting, all while having fun and being safe. Children meet weekly with Mini Miler leaders to get motivated, get educated, get some exercise, and keep track of their progress. In addition to mileage incentives, t-shirt, and medal, participants receive monthly e-letters filled with ideas, fun activities and running stories.
How it Works For Mini Milers Groups:
We provide a Leader Manual with lessons and fun activities, including a Mileage Tracker for each participant
Groups meet weekly (or twice a week) for an hour at a location to be determined by the Leader(s)
Participants use their Mileage Tracker to chart their fitness miles
Participants submit miles to their Mini Milers leader
All participants will receive a t-shirt and a medal
Individual groups will celebrate their success at their program site, and each participant will be recognized
We encourage Mini Milers participants to run in the Mini Marathon on May 27th. They will receive a special discount code to register.
How it Works For Individuals:
We provide a Parent Manual with lessons and fun activities, including a Mileage Tracker for each participant
Participants use their Mileage Tracker to chart their fitness miles
Participants' parents email RunVermont as benchmarks are met to receive their incentives
In addition to mileage incentives, t-shirt, and medal, participants receive monthly e-letters
Participants are encouraged to participate in our Mini Marathon
Dates:
Once groups begin, specific dates are determined by Group Leaders at each location. After the registration deadline, participants will receive information via email from their program Leader(s) with pertinent information.
