ABOUT ME
I have been a competitive runner for over 30 years and continue to race competitively at all distances from the mile to the marathon.
I have been an active member of the Prospect Park Track Club for 25 years.
I created this group in 2011 because I wanted to share my love of running with children and inspire them to reach their goals.
I am a certified RRCA running coach and an ACE certified personal trainer.
I am also CPR certified.
Running has provided so much more than physical benefits in my life.
There is always the opportunity to challenge yourself and reach new goals.
In addition to developing strength and endurance, running can help develop inner strength, greater self confidence and focus.
I believe these skills can be applied to and enhance other areas of our lives.
I am grateful for the gift of running every day and hope to share that gift with others.
ABOUT US
Brooklyn Kids Run is a USATF certified running team.
I started this running group in 2011 to give Brooklyn kids an opportunity to experience running in a small supportive group environment.
I created a group that was open to all levels of runners, with the only requirement being a desire to run.
My goal has been to create a flexible group that gives children the opportunity to learn the skills of running, while building a solid foundation with a focus on having fun!
In addition to building running skills, confidence and self esteem grow stronger as well.
I encourage the kids to work together as a team, support one another and do their best. Social skills are developed and friendships are created along the way.
Running classes are available for children ages 6-14 years old.
Our classes are small so that each child can get individual attention.
All our running classes take place in Prospect Park.
We will have team meets throughout the year. These meets are optional and are open to young runners who want to try out competitive running.
There are no race requirements but there are several races throughout the year that we train for and run, if that is our goal.
Classes are offered year round.
I always have at least one assistant who has a background in running and working with children.
Generally the spring, fall, and winter programs run for 8-10 weeks.
Our classes run throughout the year, weather permitting.
