ABOUT BGR!

Over the course of 7-9 weeks your 3rd-5th grade boy will embark on a quest to complete a 5k.  They practice as a team once a week for an hour.  They will run independently throughout the week while logging their miles on a special bookmark.  The completed bookmark gets entered into a season-end prize drawing!  In addition to running, he will foster friendships through activities based around Pillars of Character: integrity, responsibility, sportsmanship, grit and self-control, to name a few.

Sheila Cordaro, Founder / CEO of CORDARO FIT® and BOYS GOTTA RUN!®, has served the DMV in Fitness & Health for over 18 years and has earned recognition as "Best Personal Trainer" and "Best Kids' Fitness Program" by readers of Arlington Magazine and the Sun Gazette.

She developed the BOYS GOTTA RUN!® program because she saw a need.  Being a mother to an active son, it seemed logical and necessary to get him moving before he was required to sit and absorb information at school.  The health benefits of exercise go beyond physical fitness. There is a powerful and scientific impact that exercise has on the brain which has been proven through numerous studies.  Watch this video and hear what some runners have to say...
