to get children and youth active. Now in its eight year, the Kids’ Run Club aims to educate children about the importance of leading a physically active and healthy life while giving them an opportunity to be active through running. Its goal is to instil the importance of regular physical activity in children so they form habits that become part of their everyday lives as adults.
