About the Miler Club
Miler Club is a program that promotes awareness for a healthy lifestyle of activity through running/jogging/walking for Richmond Hill youth that is presented by the Richmond Hill High Cross Country and Track & Field program.
How it works:
Students at recess can voluntarily run/jog/walk as many 1/3 mile (RHPS), 1/4 mile (MES/RHES/CES) or 1/5 mile (FMES) lap loops as they want during their 30 minute recess time.
Students receive credit for every lap completed when their unique barcode slap bracelet is scanned. (Bracelet provided by home room teacher)
Laps earned on designated Miler Club dates are combined together for a grand total per student.
Students earn awards for every 2 miles that they complete.
Students are limited to laps earned within a single 30 minute window of time per Miler Club date.
Students should be wearing gym type shoes.
