Run Orono
this season
¡Bienvenido a la primera temporada de RunYourCity de UMaine!
RunYourCity se complace en iniciar un nuevo capítulo en la Universidad de Maine, Run Orono. Run Orono es parte de Run Your City, una organización sin fines de lucro centrada en crear una comunidad inclusiva a través del running. Nuestra misión es ayudar a los niños a desarrollar confianza, desarrollar hábitos saludables y sentirse inspirados. Nuestro objetivo es garantizar que los deportes sean accesibles para todos los niños, independientemente de su nivel socioeconómico o capacidad. ¡Este es nuestro primer año de Run Orono, nuestro capítulo local, y estamos muy emocionados de presentarlo en nuestra comunidad! Nuestro programa está dirigido por estudiantes atletas de la Universidad de Maine y es completamente gratuito. Cada temporada tendrá una duración de seis semanas, y en ese tiempo esperamos presentar a los niños el deporte de correr y ayudarlos a encontrar alegría y significado en tener un estilo de vida saludable. Junto con la práctica y las carreras, cada semana repasaremos ciertos valores que es importante inculcar a los niños desde pequeños, como el trabajo en equipo y el establecimiento de objetivos.
