Small strides, healthy lives
“Small Strides, Healthy Lives” is a kids program between RunNB and the New Brunswick Medical Society designed to encourage youth participation in road races during the RunNB road racing season. Children 14 years of age and under are encouraged to participate in a race-sanctioned children’s race throughout the season. Participants receive a race bib and finisher medal through the partnership agreement between RunNB and the New Brunswick Medical Society.
Over 3000 youth runners take part in this program annually!
