Running Club
Co-Ed 3rd & 4th Grade Running Club
Wizards in Running Club will run with Ms. Mazur and Mr. Pales to prep for the Willard 5K! During Running Club, we’ll introduce the sport of running to kids and increase distance gradually in preparation for upcoming PTO 5Ks.
The club is open to all students in Grades 3-4 and meets after school weekly until 4 pm.
Each week, we will discuss elements of becoming a good runner while we gradually increase the distance to prepare us for the Lincoln 5K in the fall and the Willard 5K in the spring.
Participation in run club earns you free entry into the 4th Annual Willard 5k, on Sunday, May 17th. One parent may run with their running club participant, if desired, but please note that a t-shirt is NOT included in free entry. If a runner would like a t-shirt or other runners care to participate, registration can be done here.
