It
is time for Woodward Elementary’s Second Annual Running Club! Running
Club members are challenged to walk, jog, or run a Progressive Marathon (26.2
miles) during the 2012-2013 school year! Every Monday and Thursday afternoon,
Running Club Members are invited to run/walk a mile. The Running Club Coordinators will supervise
scheduled Run Days. Marathoners are able to run miles independently as well. Members will be responsible for
keeping track of the number of miles they complete. Club members will be given
a toe token for each mile completed. Toe tokens may 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.
The
Running Club is open to all students, staff, and families of Woodward
Elementary School.
The Running Club will meet on Mondays and Thursdays after school from 3:00-3:30 beginning November 26th. Students will meet on the school field and all running will occur on campus.
To join the Running Club a permission slip and a $15 cash fee needs to be turned in to the school office. (permission slips are available in the office and through your child’s teacher) Students will need to bring comfortable running shoes and water on run days.
Each club member will receive a Running Club T-shirt, a Toe Token for each mile completed, and a finisher’s medal once 26.2 miles are completed.
Some members will choose to walk - that is ok. The purpose is to be participating and moving.
