WEST MICHIGAN — Total Trek Quest gives boys from 3rd to 5th grade a leg up on mental & physical health, plus helps instill habits that reach far into the future.

The official goal is to train for a 5k— but the long-term race they're running is to help young boys learn how to set goals, build strong relationships, and make healthy choices.

It's a 9-week program from Arbor Circle; offered across Allegan, Kent, Muskegon, Newaygo, and Ottawa counties. Organizers tell us they've helped over 4,800 kids put their futures first so far.

The Spring Season starts March 13th with a final 5K on May 20th.

TTQ has programs in both fall and spring, and tell FOX 17 they're always looking for coaches.
