 BEAT TBE STREETS PROGRAM OVERVIEW 
In 2014, the Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) partnered with the Atlanta Track Club/Kilometer Kids program to implement a personal fitness, 
healthy education, and mentoring program. 
The Beat the Streets program is a free, 12-week incentive-based 
running program developed by the Atlanta Track Club. Enrolled 
youth accept the challenge to run 26.2 miles, the length of a 
marathon over the course of the program. 
The goal of the Beat the Streets program is to introduce DJJ youth to non-traditional sports like cross 
country. DJJ youth will learn appropriate training and health techniques that will serve them 
well throughout their lives.
