Long Island Fun Runners

Long Island Fun Runners is a welcoming running program designed specifically for children, established by experienced educators and coaches Kevin Beirne and Brian Hayes in 2017. With over 30 years of combined experience in teaching and coaching, they aim to promote fitness and instill healthy habits in young runners. The program emphasizes a kid-centered, low-intensity approach, encouraging participation without the pressure of high-stakes competition.

Long Island Fun Runners focuses on fostering self-esteem, teamwork, and a sense of community among participants, regardless of their skill level. The mission is to prepare children for physical education challenges like the gym class mile while inspiring them to embrace personal fitness goals. The program caters to all youngsters, aiming for enjoyment, personal growth, and the possibility of developing future track and field athletes.

With an emphasis on fun and accessibility, Long Island Fun Runners provides an enriching environment where children can thrive, get stronger, and enjoy the sport of running
