Mentoring: A Running Start 2008

Welcome mentor teams!

Program Description

Mentoring: A Running Start provides an opportunity for youth to train for a 5K race to learn lessons in teamwork, goal setting and accomplishment. Participants in the running program will train for the noncompetitive 5K that is a part of the Detroit Free Press/Flagstar Marathon festivities in October.

The program aims to instill a life-long love for running and physical fitness in Michigan youth and adults. Knowledge and motivation are provided to reach the goal of running a 5K. After completion of the program, participants are encouraged to continue running and setting new physical activity goals.

The Countdown Begins!

Our 5K race is less than one week away! Nearly 18,000 runners will be in Detroit this weekend to participate in the marathon, half-marathon, 5K and relays. Forty two mentors and mentees from across the state will come together for the weekend festivities and to put their summer training to the test. Check out the 5K route you will run on Sunday. Hundreds of people will gather to cheer you on and live entertainment will keep you moving. Don’t forget your tips about eating and drinking before, during and after the race. We will see you in the D on Saturday!
