| Eligibility: | Because the ING RFSB school-based running program is so flexible, it's easy for elementary or middle schools to qualify. Start with at least 25 Kindergarten to eighth grade students ready to commit, and you're ready to go! The program can be as short as eight (8) weeks or as long as you want it to be. And it can happen in physical education class, during recess, before school, after school or any combination of these. Remember, the grant isn't meant to fund existing athletic programs; rather, it's all about reaching any and every child who wants to get active. With that in mind, the program at your school can be facilitated by a physical education teacher, coach, classroom teacher or school administrator – whatever works for your school. If your school already has a running program, simply choose to use an ING Run For Something Better customized program alongside your current running program or alone, as long as it meets our basic criteria.
