We are looking for volunteers who are ready to cheer our young runners on along a 1-mile course at Nani Falcone Park. You will be positioned somewhere along the course as part of a cheer squad, a route guide, or a water station volunteer. Or you may run along with the kids or even lead the pre-run warm up, but only if you are comfortable doing so--just let us know. The goal of all volunteers is to motivate kids! We want all our kids to feel a great sense of accomplishment as they complete this 1-mile event, and with your cheers and words of encouragement this is sure to be a memorable experience for them. Volunteers will also be asked to assist with clean up after the event is over (which does not take more than 10-15 minutes, and which should not go past 9:30 am). This event is geared for children between the ages of 5 and 12 years of age. Volunteers may be as young as 13-years of age. If you are interested, please contact us. We will e-mail you back as soon as we can regarding this volunteer opportunity. Once we have enough volunteers for this event, this volunteer opportunity will be closed. Thank you for your interest!
If you will be volunteering, active wear, especially running shoes, is highly recommended. And if you have any contributions or skills that will further increase the motivational value of this event for our kids, feel free to let us know.

About Mile Strong Kids

Mission Statement
Mile Strong Kids is an 501(c)(3) nonprofit established for the purpose of creating fun but challenging endurance events for children in the San Antonio community, with the goal of expanding throughout Texas where childhood obesity rates are on the rise. We intend to make these events accessible and affordable (with the goal of making them free through contributions, donations, sponsorships, and volunteerism) for all children. We aim to motivate kids to exercise and, in turn, combat diseases associated with obesity, such as Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure.
Description
Mile Strong Kids will organize mud runs, obstacles races, biathlons, triathlons, and regular runs a mile long at schools, parks, and other venues, where kids will have the opportunity to challenge themselves both physically and mentally. However, our goal is also to make these events fun and fulfilling. Children who complete our events will be recognized as "Superheroes" of the Mile Strong Kids Organization, whose mission is to combat the "destructive" forces of Obesity (diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure). Upon completing an event, every child participant will earn an incentive. With continuous participation, their names may also appear in our "Superheroes Wall" on our website. The purpose of Mile Strong Kids is to motivate children to go out there and exercise. We believe that organizing events that are exciting, yet accessible, is the way to accomplish this.
