About Run Don't Walk

The Firecracker "Run Don't Walk" program was recently completed as a result of grants awarded to LACFRC by the California Endowment and Amateur Athletic Foundation. This after-school program sent exercise mentors to our targeted local elementary schools. The goal of this afterschool program was to promote and instill healthy eating and lifestyle habits to prevent childhood obesity among elementary age students. The program focused on students setting personal goals around a training regiment of stretching and running with an end goal of competing in area runs, including our annual Firecracker event.
