The award-winning SoleKIDS program arrived in La Grande the fall of 2022 and received tremendous support from the community during its first season. We since have expanded the program to all schools within the La Grande School District and at Imbler. The SoleKIDs adventure is an eight-week after-school running program geared towards elementary students and is uniquely designed to get your child ready for a season-ending 5K race. Through the daily lessons and workouts, your SoleKIDS runner becomes physically and mentally prepared for race day and getting to the finish line!

All SoleKIDS runner registrations include a “sponsor” runner entry. Go buy yourself a pair of running shoes and get ready for the 5K with us!
