In all four groups the coaches will emphasize the fun of running and help the kids develop healthy habits. The assignment to groups will be flexible. The groups will learn stretching and strengthening exercises to improve running technique and avoid injury. The program will also prepare younger runners for the August 13th Falmouth Recreation Department Fun Run and prepare interested older runners for the Falmouth Road Race (to be held August 14). Participants should wear running shoes and comfortable shorts and t-shirt. They should bring a bottle of water and wear sunscreen.
