Join cross-country coaches Joe Heil and David Painter for this year’s running club. Students will arrive at the parking lot no later than 5:45 PM where we will all stretch and warm up as one big group (all family members are welcome to participate, the more the merrier). We will conduct a run by age groups (K-4th, about a half mile) (5-8th about 1.25 miles). The intention is to build confidence and comradery. Please ensure your children wear running shoes (not basketball/soccer shoes) because we will be running on old golf cart paths.
