The RENO 5000 Is Making A Difference In Lives

 

  • The goal of the Lace 'Em Up Running Club is to get kids moving.  This generation of kids is expected to have a shorter life span than the previous one because of obesity.  Lace 'Em Up can help change that!  You can buy "Lace 'Em Up Running Club" Shoelaces a any RENO 5000 event.  The laces cost $5.00 each and the money will be used to buy incentives to keep the kids motivated.  This is a great club for kids in our community!  Lace 'Em Up Running Club plans to expand Nationally, but it all starts here in Reno, NV.!

    • The Lace ‘Em Up Running Club is a new addition to Brown Elementary School to instill a healthier lifestyle in our kids.  Here’s how it works.  Every Tuesday and Thursday, all kids will be encouraged (keep in mind this is a voluntary program) to run or walk the designated course around the inside of the school’s playground during the 2pm recess.  Two laps equals one mile.  The goal?  To have K-2nd  graders complete half a marathon (13 miles) and 3-5th graders complete a marathon (26 miles!).  Keep in mind they have the entire school year to do it. This is absolutely an achievable goal.   Kids can also run/walk before school, after school, even on the weekends with their parents.  Parent volunteers will keep track of their laps by hole punching their cards.  Is Lace ‘Em Up making a difference?  Absolutely!  In the first month of the program, the kids have already run more than 1,000 miles!
