Kids Running Club

Kids’ Running Club is back for a second season! Our coaches are Rachel and Joseph Garza. Both serve in the Navy, are fitness enthusiasts, and are great with kids of all ages!

Each practice will have plenty of running games, as well as slowly adding distance running. Our goals are for running to be FUN, to make new friends, and to develop endurance throughout the fall.

We will participate as a group in the Holly Jolly Jog on Saturday, December 5th. This is a great opportunity to run the one-mile Christmas parade route just before the parade begins, while being cheered on by all the parade spectators!

Kids’ Running Club is offered to the kids in our community free of charge! We will ask you to purchase a club t-shirt for your child to wear at the Holly Jolly Jog. Families will also be encouraged to sign up to bring snacks after practices.

All Kindergarteners through 8th graders are invited to participate in Kids’ Running Club! Please contact Rachel if your high school student would like to serve as volunteer helper.
