Running Club

Fall Running Club -- Fit Kids in School

Running club is an after-school club that begins meeting in September. Students in grades 4-8 will learn proper warm up/cool down exercises, how to find their own pace, and how to build endurance.  Students will then set individual mileage goals which they'll begin working on while running with their friends. Students will log their miles for either a half marathon or full marathon, and they'll complete their final mile at the Hartford Marathon Foundation's Fit Kids in School "Final Mile" race event. The event is held in late October as a school-day field trip for all members of the club.
