Program trains youth for 5K

Registration is open for the Hot Springs County Recreation District’s Ready, Set, Run! program. Instructed by Shannon Hill, the program is a character-building running program that trains kids ages 8-13 to participate in a 5K run.

The curriculum-based program begins on Tuesday, April 2, and equips kids with the physical training and goal-setting mentality needed to accomplish their running goals. Issues like enhancing confidence and self- esteem, respecting authority, dealing with peer pressure and fueling their bodies through proper nutrition are covered during the 12-week session.

Registration is $30, which includes a t-shirt and Buffalo Run entry. Register at the Recreation Office located in the Armory Building. For more information please call the Recreation Office at 864-3767.
