"Running is Elementary"
Kentucky has alarming statistics in rates of an overweight and obese population, ranking 48th of the 50 U.S. states for overweight or obese children, with 37.1 percent of youth ages 10-17 being overweight or obese. The Rehab Associates Foundation has a short-term goal of establishing "Running is Elementary", a running program, in elementary schools in western Kentucky. Our hope is that through running exposure, children will become more active and as they become adults encourage activity in their own children.
Description: 6-8 week after school running program for elementary school grades 2-5. Student and supervisor printed material is available through Road Runner Club of America and will be provided at no cost to participating schools.
Cost to Participating School: Zero
Obligation of Participating School:
- Promotion of program to students and families.
- Space for running and warm up activities
Co-Sponsors:
- Rehab Associates Foundation
- West Kentucky Runners Club
- Road Runner Club of America
Youth Run Events:
- Saturday, April 23, 2011, "FEAT On The Street" Noble Park, Paducah Kentucky
- Saturday, June 18, 2011, "Lourdes Paducah Iron Mom" Half-Marathon, Downtown Paducah, Kentucky
- Saturday, July 16, 2011, UBS Fund Run for Charities, Noble Park, Paducah, Kentucky
We are seeking additional funding and hope to continue and expand our efforts with our area elementary schools.
