Running Club Children in our school are invited to participate in an after school running club. There is no fee for participation and an activity bus is available to take the students home if we take trips away from our school. Announcements and training tips are provided and then participants warm up properly and then stretch on the blacktop, learning proper techniques.
Students select a running buddy, and walk, run or jog the designated course of the day.
The focus changes each week. The kids learn about interval training, running on varied terrain and run courses on the field, around the school building and the nearby community. At the end of each practice, a running game is played. In addition, we participate in 2-4 local running events in our surrounding community on the weekends in the Fall.
