Why running

Three things every
SoleKIDs Runner takes home

Confidence

Every training session plants a small win, so runners show up on race day already knowing they can finish.

Community

Coaches, classmates, and family cheer squads — SoleKIDs is a team sport built around a community.

Healthy habits

Stretching, hydration, nutrition, and moving twice a week — habits that outlast the season itself.

The program

Train three days a week.
Race through winter.

SoleKIDs DASH runners practice Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday at Timberline High School, from 4:00 to 5:30 PM (or until twilight, if the sun sets first). The Winter season kicks off December 7 and runs through the West Coast Championships in Spokane — likely the week of February 15, though the exact date is still TBD.

We take the week of December 21 off for Christmas. The week of December 28 is off too, unless at least 5 runners want to keep training — we'll survey families ahead of time to decide.

Registration includes optional add-ons: a uniform and a USATF membership. Pick and choose what you need — USATF membership is only required for the Pocatello meet.
