Run Hard is an 8 week long character based running program for boys in grades 2-5. Twice a week coaches lead students in running curriculum focused around character building themes. At the end of the program students will participate in the celebratory 5k community race in Springfield.
“Each week [of the program] runners focus on core lessons including: peer pressure, perseverance, wise choices, work ethic, leadership, teamwork, honesty, respect and honor. Teamwork is emphasized throughout lessons and workouts. The race is about more than speed and endurance. The second- through 8th-grade participants in this race are running to demonstrate their commitment to healthy lifestyles and good decision-making skills” -Jesse Harmon, Founder of Run Hard.
