The Kit's Club & Silver Fox Club program is a months-long program designed to help you reach your marathon goals! Each participant will do their best to complete 26.2 miles - that's a marathon distance - throughout the program, little by little. Keep track of your mileage with a F4F logbook that you'll collect when the program starts in May. (Participants also receive a t-shirt and goody bag!) Not a runner? Don't like walking? That's okay! Your logbook will have a conversion chart with lots of other fun activities that you can convert to mileage, such as biking, basketball, yoga, swimming, etc. You can also rack up more mileage at smaller F4F events held around the Fort Wayne area. At the Friday event on September 26th, all participants complete a celebratory 1.2-mile lap around the stadium and receive their finisher medal at home plate! Kit's Club is for kids ages 4-14, and Silver Fox Club is for adults 50 and older.

(You choose the day, the pace, the route.)

March — Add 3 MilesWalk 3 extra miles total this month.…and so on through December! By the end of the year, you will have added 78 total bonus miles without ever making a huge jump at
