Introducing Woodward Elementary's BRAND NEW
Running Club! Run Woodward Run!
Running Club members are challenged to walk, jog, or run a Progressive Marathon (26.2 miles) during the 2011-2012 school year! Every Monday and Thursday afternoon, Running Club Members are invited to run/walk a mile. The Running Club Coordinators will be keeping a log of all the miles completed over time. Club members will be given a toe token for each mile they complete. Toe tokens can be worn as a bracelet or hung on a backpack. The last miles of the Progressive Marathon may be run at a local running event (more info to come) where students will be awarded a Finisher’s Medal.
What is a progressive marathon?
A progressive marathon is an accumulation of miles prior to race day. The last miles of the marathon are run at an event. A Progressive Marathon medal is awarded for running 26.2 miles over time.
Who may participate?
The Running Club is open to all students, staff, and families of Woodward Elementary School.
When and where will the Running Club meet?
The Running Club will meet on Mondays and Thursdays after school from 3:00-3:30 beginning November 7th. Students will meet on the school field and all running will occur on campus.
What is needed to join the Running Club?
To join the Running Club a permission slip and a $10 cash fee needs to be turned in to the school office. (permission slips available in the office and through your child’s teacher) Students will need to bring comfortable running shoes and water on run days.
What is provided by the Running Club?
Each club member will receive a Running Club T-shirt, a Toe Token for each mile completed, and a finishers medal once 26.2 miles are completed.
What if a member has never run before?
Some kids will choose to walk - that is ok. The purpose is to be out there participating and moving.
We are looking for volunteers to help out on run days.
