Running Programs
JAG Sports and Education Foundation has a close partnership with the New York Road Runners Foundation (NYRR). NYRR Foundation has been developing and implementing running programs for youth of all size, fitness, and athleticism since 1999. Their programs serve more than 15,000 children a week in over 100 New York City schools and community centers.
The JAG Sports and Education Foundation will implement programs used by the NYRR in South African children communities identified by the Foundation.
The programs portfolio:
Young Runners
Young Runners is an intensive program which motivates and trains primary through to high school students to run one mile to ten kilometers (6.2 miles) without stopping, through active participation on an after school (or before school) running team. Participants learn to set and achieve challenging personal goals and are awarded incentives for attendance and improvement. Young Runners, while intended to be physically challenging, is designed for children of all fitness and athletic levels. It uses the structure and popularity of the team to help kids reach their full human potential, not just their athletic potential.
Mighty Milers
Mighty Milers is a physical education program for schools and youth organizations that instills the daily habit of running and/or walking for health, longevity, and well-being. Mighty Milers stimulates primary school children of all fitness levels to run and/or walk 26.2 104.8 miles (one to four marathons) during the school year by covering upwards of half a mile, three to five times a week. Students earn incentives every five miles including a medal for every marathon of miles they complete. Mighty Milers can supplement or become a school/organization’s physical education program; make recess time productive and orderly; provide classes with a fun, focused, fitness break; or serve as the warm-up session for an athletics team.
