Braveheart Run Club believes that kids can do hard things! Our goal each session is empowerment on and off the field.
We will lead them through running games and drills that help build their strength both physically and mentally every time we meet.

Our first Braveheart was SO MUCH FUN! We learned a LOT, placed in every event we competed in, and had a pretty awesome day. I could hear our families cheering from across the track all day, and watched our runners encourage each other and lift each other up after tough races over and over. They truly left it all out there- blood sweat and tears- and it showed in our ribbon count! Proud is an understatement!! Thank you to for an outstanding inaugural event!

Amazing 5k to wrap up our upper school season at St John! These kids are fast- we don’t do a traditional 🥇🥈🥉, but we noticed who finished. The boys that came in at the front were under 25 mins and the girls were just over 27 mins! AMAZING job from all of our runners this afternoon!!!

Waiting for your spring sport schedule? Now is your chance to secure your spot in our late spring training programs!
5k- perfect for fledgling runners, runners hoping to get faster, or your athlete to grow in stamina! Must be able to run 1 mile (not time-specific) to participate. Will cumulate with a family-friendly (optional!) 5k!
10k- for your more advanced runner- we ask that your athlete has previously completed a 5k. We’ll meet 2x/week to work on speed, strength, and distance! Perfect for your kiddo who wants to push a little farther and challenge their limits!
SUMMER CAMP- we sold out quickly and decided to add 5 more spots! THESE WILL ALSO SELL OUT FAST! See prior posts for details 😎
Hope to see your runner out there this spring!

What is your kiddo capable of?
Running is the pinnacle of childhood activity. It’s a stamina and base-builder for team sports, and a powerful tool for kids who don’t enjoy team sports. Our program gets your kids stronger, but more importantly- builds their confidence and shows them the power of setting a goal, doing the work, and earning their medal! Every week isn’t easy. But I’ve never spent an hour with a kiddo at run club and not seen AT LEAST one smile. I promise ;)
Our spring sessions are for those looking to complete either a 5k or a 10k. They start in mid-April, and have limited spaces left! Hope to see you out there 🏃♀️❤️🏃♂️

WHY BRAVEHEART?
I know that there are other kids running programs out there! So, why ours?
1. We love your kids. Like, have so, so much fun showing up for them each week and listening to them as we help them get stronger and run farther. They are just the coolest people, for real.
2. Sort of a continuation of 1, really. Seeing a child cross a finish line for the first time, improve their speed, or run 2 miles without a walk break for the first time is life-changing! They carry that sense of accomplishment for far longer than the hour we meet.
3. We are a small, local, women-owned business and employer. I hire other local moms and teenagers with a similar vision- that good health is key and a great mindset can change everything.
4. We give back locally and globally! We have donated to a dozen local schools; provided meals for dozens of families during annual food drives; sponsor families for the holidays each year; supported local families fundraising for causes that are important to them; and donate to the special Olympics each year. Giving back has been a huge priority from day one and hasn’t waivered.
5. Continuing education! Yoga and run coach certifications; CPR and Red Cross cert; and countless hours of studying technique, mindset coaching, running and fitness form, warmup practices, nutrition and fueling our bodies, and fun active games help guide our lessons. We want your kids to have a great coaching experience that genuinely brings out their best!
6. Our Braveheart family. We stick together! You’ll hear the kids cheering each other on, forming friendships as they run, and helping each other when needed. Running is a sport that both compliments team sports and can be done completely separately from team sports, and we nurture all of our runners to find their own sweet spot. All kids have the opportunity to shine here, and their running friends will encourage them along the way!
If you’ve read this far 🙃, spring signups are live on our site!!! Hope to see your kiddos out there!

🚨🚨🚨🚨 Two awesome local companies have merged to provide an amazing camp guaranteed to send your kids (aged 6+) home each day fairly sweaty, pretty tired, a little dirty, and super happy!
Each day will begin with "Coach" Sarah, who will lead your kids through running games and drills, strength building exercises, walk/jog explorations along the B+A Trail- all infused with growth mindset lessons! The kids will break for lunch and free play, and then spend their afternoon with Michele, who will lead a daily fun exploration of Yogic themes (like Peace, Sharing, Self-esteem Building, Community, Friendship, and Love) through:
Poses, activities, games & songs
Water Time & Fun
Sensory Art
“Yoga Kids Toolbox” Techniques for Breath & Mindfulness for Stress Management, Relaxation and Focus
Teamwork Activities
And the magic of play outside in nature
This is a one-of-a-kind Camp that is process oriented and based on holding space for creative learning, connecting and allowing each child to thrive in their own unique way while discovering and nurturing what they are truly capable of. Oh yeah, and lots of art sprinkled through each day!
