Running is one of the most accessible and empowering sports for kids. From fun runs to cross country meets, Sioux Falls offers plenty of opportunities for young runners to build endurance, set goals, and compete in a positive, supportive environment. Youth running programs and clubs focus on technique, pacing, and team spirit while encouraging a love of fitness that can last a lifetime. Whether your child is just starting out or training for their next 5K, running is a sport that grows with them.
Girls on the Run
Girls on the Run strives to help every girl activate her limitless potential and ensure that she is free to pursue her dreams boldly. Girls on the Run is a transformational physical activity-based, positive youth development program for girls in 3rd-5th grades. Meeting in small teams, trained volunteer coaches inspire girls to build confidence and other essential life skills through dynamic, interactive lessons and physical activity. Our lessons focus on building girls’ social, emotional, and physical skills while encouraging healthy habits for life. Each season ends with a joyful, non-competitive, celebratory 5K event.
