Join World Marathon Champ Becca Pizzi and Ultra marathoner Scot DeDeo in their first annual Kids Running Camp.

The camp will be held from 9 - 11:30am from August 6th - 8th at Belmont's Track at Harris field.

Each day will include a warm run, motivational and / or educational speaker, a stretching, Yoga, or Pilates routine led by a certified instructor, a snack, and a workout to cap off the day.

Hear about what it takes to run marathons and longer across the world.

All camp proceeds go to Neurofibromatosis Northeast, a local non-profit that raises awareness about and help's combat the genetic disorder neurofibromatosis.
