Mini Milers

🍁 Fall 2026 Mini Milers Registration is OPEN! 🍁

Mini Milers is a fun, supportive kids running program designed to help young runners build confidence, strength, and a positive relationship with movement. Whether your child loves to run or is just getting started, our program meets them where they are and encourages progress at their own pace.

Our Fall 2026 season will take place at Lake Boren Park, running Mondays and Wednesdays from 4:45–5:45 PM, beginning August 31 through October 14th, and wrapping up with a Fun Run on October 17th to celebrate all their hard work.

👟 Open to Kindergarten through 5th grade
Practices include warm-ups, games, age-appropriate running, and lots of encouragement from our coaches. We focus on effort, not speed, and celebrate every milestone along the way.

Register at minimilers.org

⚠️ Spots are limited and tend to fill quickly, so if you’re interested, we encourage you to register soon.

Small steps lead to big achievements 💛

Looking for a fun, low-pressure way to stay active this summer? Join us at Lake Boren Park beginning June 22 for Morning Milers!

We'll start with a quick warm-up, spend about 30 minutes running or walking at our own pace, and finish with a cool-down.
This is a FREE community program open to all ages and abilities. Bring the kids, bring a friend, or come solo!

Please note: This is not a drop-off program. All minors must be accompanied by an adult.

No registration required. Just show up with comfortable shoes and a smile. We can't wait to see you there! ☀️

Thank you, Dudley Smiles for your sponsorship of our Spring season!

Our family has had three go through their practice and are extremely happy with the results! Not only that, the staff and Dr. Si are the best! If you’re in need of orthodontic services, they are the best!

The next time you visit Tapatio Mexican Grill, take a look at their wall as you enter!

We are grateful for their sponsorship this year as well as their fundraising night. The best way to say thank you is with your patronage!

🚨🏅 CHIEF MANDELLA UNDERCOVER AS A MINI MILER 🏅🚨

Chief Mandella joined us for our Mini Milers Fun Run and didn’t just wave from the sidelines; he ran the ENTIRE time with our kiddos! 💪🧡

Not only did he show up for the kids, he ran the entire time alongside them and crossed the finish line earning his own finisher medal. The kids absolutely loved it.
There’s something really special about community leaders jumping in instead of standing on the sidelines. High fives, encouragement, lots of laps, and a whole bunch of proud little runners. 🧡

Thank you to Chief Mandella and the Newcastle PD for continuing to support our kiddos and our community.

TOMORROW! 🌮

Dine in or order takeout from and be sure to mention Mini Milers!

You’ll be supporting two local favorites at once: a wonderful Newcastle restaurant and our kids’ running club. Every time Mini Milers is mentioned, Tapatio donates part of the sale back to our program.

Thank you for supporting our runners! 🧡

Ladies and gentlemen, your 2026 Spring Mini Milers crew!

Last night, Mini Milers was officially awarded the “Best Non-Profit” by the Newcastle Chamber of Commerce. We had an amazing view and were treated to dinner and drinks with even better company! We are honored to receive this award and thank the community for their nomination!
