New York Athletic Organization Creates Teachers' Kit to Get Kids Running
Teachers' kit to initiate a nutrition and running program for children
In 2006, staff of the New York Road Runners Foundation created two startup kits to enable teachers to start running programs in elementary and middle schools.

Mighty Milers and Young Runners are in-school and after-school programs that include fitness and nutrition instruction as well as activities to promote character and academic development.
