The LTSF Up & Running program is an afterschool running club for elementary students that increases fitness awareness. The mission is to challenge students to experience the benefits of goal setting, character development, adult mentoring, and improved health by providing them with a life-changing experience. The ultimate goal is to train two days a week and compete in a 5K run at the Indy Half Marathon at Fort Ben in the Fall and the Prairie Dash 5K in the Spring.
