Reston Runners’ Youth In Motion (YIM) Program is a non-profit, non-competitive summer youth running/fitness program. The program is eight (8) weeks—7 sessions at the track and an end of season celebration and race at Lake Fairfax Park. Our program offers fun activities for up to 300 participants, ages 4-13 years old, and is entirely staffed by volunteer coaches. 

Our mission is to introduce youth to the joy of running and running-related activities
in a fun atmosphere to help them maintain an active and healthy lifestyle.

Adults call it "working out"; Kids call it "playing".

The Youth in Motion program has ended its 2026 season!
Please check back in April to sign up for the 2027 season.

It takes many volunteers to operate this program. Thank you to our 2026 coaches!
