About this event
City Parks Foundation and Randall's Island Park Alliance coach children in sprints, hurdles, relays and field events across an autumn Saturday morning. No club, no kit and no fee: turn up, get taught properly by people who know the sport, and run on a real track. The 24 October session moves to Randall's Island to join the Boo Bash.
Why we picked it
Proper free athletics coaching for kids on a Saturday morning, a rarity in a city of paid youth leagues.
