The sessions at both Merritt and Bryan schools will "ensure your child is not only healthy and fit but also ready to tackle the 5K," trainer Josh Zitomer said.
The five-week clinic will meet before school – from 7:30-8:20 a.m. Children will be escorted to the front of school for the morning bell, organizers said.
The cost is $95 (race fee) plus a $5.70 signup fee.
Registration for the Meritt sessions, led by Julie Balay, a registered dietitian and board certified sports dietitian, ends Sept. 21.
Registration for the Bryan sessions, led by Zitomer, ends Sept. 22.

The schedule is:
8 a.m. – Check-In Begins
9 a.m. – 5K Run Start
