Keep in mind the goals of the JUST RUN program – We are providing an opportunity for children to learn about running and physical activity in a fun environment, one which encourages pride in accomplishment. We want each child to understand the important link between their lifetime health and being active & eating properly. It is their choice.
If you have any questions about the program please call Mike Dove at 831.484.2309 or Susan Love at 831.625.6226. E-mail addresses are mnjdove@aol.com and susanwlove@sbcglobal.net.
1. Become familiar with the many facets and features of JUST RUN. Explore JUST RUN Across the USA/Europe, Just Deeds, and Just Taste. Take a look at the FORMS section. This program was designed to be "turn-key."

We will enter your information and group(s) into our database. You will have a password to access your group. At this point you will be set to enter children's names, to record their mileage and Just Deeds, and to have FUN!
We suggest your youth running group for "JUST RUN Across the USA or Europe" have no more than 40 children. The accumulated mileage of groups with too many children may get them across the USA (or Europe) and back too quickly. If you have more than 40 children, separate them into groups based on grade level or class, for example.
