PROGRAM OPTIONS
This winter, Go Run Missoula has seven awesome program sites with something for everyone! For middle schoolers, we’re offering four amazing options, including two brand-new programs:
- Outdoor Winter Running Adventure - explore, run, and have fun outside (kinda like trail running, but in the winter, and mostly road running)
- Strength Class - get stronger, try new activities, and build confidence!
- Jefferson Middle School and Hellgate Middle School engage in running activities combined with art, teamwork, and opportunities to build confidence and a sense of belonging.
We also have one YMCA program open to any child in 3rd - 6th grade, including homeschooled children, for a welcoming and fun experience.
Plus, our after-school sites at Franklin Elementary and Hellgate Intermediate make it easy to join right after the school day ends!
