About this event

Sidney's Rainbow Runners for Summer 2026

The XC and Speed Project again presents a kids program - Sidney's Rainbow Runners.

Designed to help inspire all elementary school age children. The program will focus on fun, using games and active play to build strength and mobility in a way geared to younger athletes.

Our goal is to teach athletes the fundamentals in an enjoyable atmosphere, working as a team to make progress together.

All three programs are supported by the Merrimack Valley Striders Running Club.

Program Goals

Inspire a lifelong love of running in all kids.

Prepare future runners and/or athletes in all sports.

Focus on fun with fundamentals through games and active play.

Build agility, mobility, speed and strength.

Kids will make memories with their teammates during the program.

Goal is to work as a team to help every athlete improve. Journey is about progress, not perfection, and having lots of smiles and laughs along the way.
