SOGO Level 2 (Ages 10 - 16)

Running and Navigation

​​Through highly motivating activities and challenges, participants will navigate through adventure running stations as they learn about Adventure Running.
 
Groups are 15 kids with one experienced coach.  The group works on the adventure running fundamentals: speed, strength and agility, endurance and navigation.  Brand new to adventure running? No problem! We’re excited to have you.  Our experienced coaches are able to provide extra coaching support and well as group kids up for peer support to get new runners up to speed in no time.
 
Level two participants are encouraged to attend a coach-supported local SOGO fun run and a regional navigation based run.

Participants take part in SOGO Level 2 until they are ready to run two times a week venturing out of town to run in forest areas with the group of Level 3's. 

Ages are calculated based on the participant's age as of June 30, 2023, so if your SOGO participant has a birthday during the SOGO season, you are able to register them in a program based on their age at the end of the SOGO season. If you have any questions about which Level to register your child in, please email us at [email protected].

Registration closing date for Level 1/2/3

*We understand that there are a variety of reasons for registering late. We would love for your child to participate in SOGO. We are adding the extra fee because it is time consuming for us to add kids to our class rosters and processes which we set up right before the start of the sessions.
