7 Running Programs That Help Kids

2. Morning Mile Program. Based out of Florida (you might recognize the creator Fitz!), Morning Mile gives kids the opportunity to start their days on the right foot by running a mile. Every day before school, Morning Milers run to earn pendants for distance milestones they reach. Motivated by rewards, music and a fun time with friends, kids in the Morning Milers program have run more than 300,000 miles.

How you can get involved: You can donate money to keep the Morning Mile program in your area running. Any amount helps, but it costs $1,150 or less to fully sponsor a school. To start a Morning Mile program in a school in your area, apply for a free starter kit online. Morning Mile will match your school with a corporate sponsor and then you are ready to get rolling.
