About this event

What's NEW in 2024? Sidney's Rainbow Runners!



The XC and Speed Project again presents a kids program - Sidney's Rainbow Runners. 

Designed to help inspire all elementary school age children.  The program will focus on fun, using games and active play to build strength and mobility in a way geared to younger athletes.

Our goal is to teach athletes the fundamentals in an enjoyable atmosphere, working as a team to make progress together.

All three programs are supported by the Merrimack Valley Striders Running Club.



Program Goals 

  • Inspire a lifelong love of running in all kids.
  • Prepare future runners and/or athletes in all sports.
  • Focus on fun with fundamentals through games and active play.
  • Build agility, mobility, speed and strength.
  • Kids will make memories with their teammates during the program.

  • Goal is to work as a team to help every athlete improve. Journey is about progress, not perfection, and having lots of smiles and laughs along the way.
