Miami Lakes kids can start the new year off by getting in shape with the Town’s Just Run Program that promotes fitness for elementary and middle school students for four months.

The five-year-old program, offered by the Miami Lakes Youth Activities Task Force for kids between the ages of 5 and 14, kicks off in January and will be held every Monday and Wednesday from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. at Miami Lakes Picnic Park West, 15151 N.W. 82 Avenue.

The program ends in May 2015.

Besides exercising, the Just Run Program also teaches healthy eating, good citizenship and taking pride in the kids’ accomplishments.
