Day & Time: Thursdays (after dismissal - 3:00) /October -February

Run Club is a fun, low-pressure way for students to move, build healthy habits, and discover the joy of running. Whether your child is brand-new to the sport or already loves to race, everyone is welcome! Each Thursday after school, we focus on playful warm-ups, short runs, and running games that build stamina, teamwork, and confidence. The emphasis is on encouragement and personal growth—not speed or competition—so every participant can set goals, celebrate progress, and enjoy an active, supportive environment. At the end of February, we will have our final event where we participate in the Strides for Education 5K at FSW!
