Kids Running
www.kidsrunning.com

This site was set up by a first grade teacher who wanted to combine learning with running to make both more fun for children. The target audience is children ranging from kindergarden to about fifth grade. This site is mostly a teaching resource, but is filled with great articles for kids written by cross country coaches and professional runners. This site is set up in conjunction with Runner's World, a very popular running magazine. 

The site is updated regularly. It had up to date information, but no date anywhere. Links to other child-oriented sites are present on the site including a children's soccer site. Since the site is mostly for educational purposes, the information is cited and there are many teacher resources.

The design of the site uses nothing but children's drawings and comic sans font to convey a very childlike image. It is very well organized and very helpful to anyone who wants to get a child hooked on the sport of running.
