What is Go Far?
Go Far is a non-competitive daily fitness and wellness program that encourages healthy exercise and diet. Children benefit and learn about the importance of achieving a long term goal through our structured program. During recess, students run or walk laps and have their mileage recored by a mentoring adult. Students are given small prizes every five miles and a t-shirt at 26.2 miles. Positive peer
and community recognition is essential to the program and given to the students throughout their journey to wellness.

About the race
We realize that this will be the first running race for many of our entrants and we want it to be a fun and safe experience. This race will be a kid friendly event for boys and girls in preschool through 12th grade. Children 7th grade and up will volunteer as mentors to guide the younger children through the race course. Many will have experienced Go Far at school, but this event will be open to the public. Kids will decorate race numbers, do a special warm-up, race a timed event and receive cool awards The race will take place at the fairgrounds in Durham, CT
