RISING STEAM
WHAT IS RISING STEAM?
Rising Steam focuses on beginning runners and walkers, 6th-12th graders in preparation for the Steamboat Classic 4 Mile and 4K Race. Rising Steam is fairly new training program. It's a proven success through the Scouting Steam which helps to prepare Boy Scouts not only for the Steamboat Classic Race, but helps them to complete their Personal Fitness Merit Badge, required for Eagle Scout. Rising Steam puts participants of similar abilities together with motivated and understanding volunteer coaches. The unique part of Rising Steam is the parental/guardian involvement. Parents and guardians are invited to participate in Rising Steam with their child or parents and guardians can participate in Building Steam while their child participates in Rising Steam. Running and walking is a great activity for families to participate together.
