Go Far Kids will begin in June of each year. In our first year (2009), we have moved our start date to July 1st to ensure that we have a proper structure in place.
Register for Go Far Kids by clicking here. It is very important that your parents help you sign up for this program so that they stay involved in the excitement of the Go Far program and so that they can follow your upcoming progress!
Once you are set up, you can begin to track your Go Far progress online. You can update your Go Far activities based on whatever schedule works best for you….immediately, daily, every other day, weekly, etc. Just make sure you don’t wait too long as you might forget some of the things you have done!
REMEMBER: Tracking progress is done on the “Honor System”. Only YOU know if you actually accomplished what you say you did. If you only ran for 15 minutes, then put down 15 minutes….not 20. This is part of holding yourself to a high level of commitment to yourself.
Your Online Tracking Plan (OTP) will update automatically, and you can see how you are doing with respect to the goals you have in front of you.
There are quarterly goals and an annual goal.
Go Far Kids will hold three quarterly goal events within our community. Those members who have hit their respective quarterly goals will receive a quarterly award at these events.
The "Finish Line" for Go Far Kids is the Fargo Marathon which is held in May of each year. All Go Far Kids will participate in either the Youth Run, the 5K Run/Walk or the Half Marathon. An official “End of the Year” Awards Ceremony for all Go Far Kids will beheld in conjunction with this event.
