Fit Girls & Fast Reads

Fit Girls & Fast Reads is a nationally known fitness program that uniquely combines training for a 5K race (3.1 miles) with reading, nutrition and character building lessons. The program is available to anyone who has completed 1st through 5th grade, at any fitness or reading level. This provides a wonderful opportunity for your child to learn about goal setting, developing character and staying healthy as we work towards completing a 5K race. The cost of the program is $20. As a participant your child will receive an age appropriate book, drawstring bag, water bottle, folder and free entry in the Run for the Bagel 5K.
