Our mission is to provide opportunities for children to engage in running at all levels as a means to

RunFit launched in the spring of 2006 as a bold initiative aimed at curbing the growing epidemic of childhood obesity by creating a running and/or walking program for children at after-school (or before school) programs across the district. The program is provided free to public and private elementary schools, as well as homeschools. Physical educators, classroom teachers, and parents can incorpor

ate RunFit into their curriculum, after-school programs, and at home with their families. RunFit is a not for profit organization designed to help the youth of all sizes, fitness, and ability levels utilize the discipline of running to improve health, build character and provide opportunities for children to showcase their talents by participating in a number of RunFit sponsored events throughout the community,” said RunFit founder Stephen Pino. “Before, During, and after school programs such as RunFit play a vital role in the lives of our communities by keeping kids safe, creating healthy habits, and helping working families.”
RunFit is a fun program that motivates and trains children 5-13 to run one mile to 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) through active participation on a RunFit team. Participants learn to set and achieve challenging personal goals and are awarded incentives for attendance and improvement and culminating in local RunFit running events. RunFit, while intended to be physically challenging, is designed for children of all fitness and athletic levels. RunFit provides opportunities to assist schools with their school-sponsored jog-a-thons. While RunFit is designed for elementary-aged children, parents are encouraged to participate. Moreover, RunFit continues to help build community by bringing the community together for a common purpose, the "we before me" frame of mind. RunFit continues to help other organizations achieve their goals: NM Heart Association, Brain Injury Alliance, Mobile Food Pantries, Best Buddies, Pancreatic Cancer Research, NM Natural History Museum, and many more.
