Race Around Roxbury is a 5-day program, with both physical exercise and education components, to encourage youth to exercise on a regular basis.
The program also teaches healthy eating habits to support healthy living by providing children and adolescents (ages 8-18) with a strong foundation to make changes in their lives that will promote a sustainable healthy lifestyle and high self-esteem.
Ultimately, this will result in decreased body mass index (BMI), and lower prevalence of hypertension, high cholesterol, and pre-diabetes in the pediatric population we serve.
