Our Kids Couch to 5K 6-week program is for children in the age range 6 to 14 years old. The program is for all running levels. Our coaches and volunteers follow a plan for 6 weeks to prepare them to run a 5K race. The participants will graduate from the program by running the A Touch of Speed 5K Run that will be held November 4, 2023, 7am, Fort Dorchester High School. This 5K event is presented by Chick-fil-A Dorchester Road. The 5K event is open to the general public. Therefore, parents, family, and friends are welcome to join their race participant. You can register for the race here. We will register the program participants.
