About the Run Hard Florida

Run Hard Florida is a youth running program, not a standalone road race. It runs through elementary and middle schools, meeting twice a week over several weeks to build endurance and character in kids. The final race at the end of the season is the goal the whole program points toward, earned through consistent attendance and gradual training.
