Our Running Club Program is dedicated to helping runners of all abilities improve and enjoy fitness (athletic speed, endurance, flexibility and strength) in a positive and encouraging atmosphere.
To all interested grades 4/5/6 students: We are excited to have our Kinosayo Running Club start up once again!! Our Running Club is broken up into 2 “seasons”. During the month of September, we will focus on long distance training (anywhere from 1km to 4km) . When Running Club resumes in January (January to March) the focus will shift to short distance training (sprinting).
For the long distance training in September, we will try to accommodate all of our students’ running abilities. We will have several (at least 3) different pace/distance groups so your child can feel challenged but not frustrated. We are looking for those students who will consistently be at practice and on time. Running Club will begin MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 11TH at 8:05 a.m.-8:45 a.m. On Running Club days, please meet in the gym. As long as the weather cooperates, we will hold practices outside... dress for the weather (toque? gloves? outdoor shoes!)
There are a couple of events that Running Club members will have the opportunity to attend if they are interested and available.Our first running event will beafter school on WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13th at Muriel Martin (4 p.m.).Students will be bussed to Muriel Martin (we will leave right after school) and parents are asked to pick up their child from Muriel Martin by 5:00 p.m. The Fun Run begins at 4:00 p.m. Typically grade 4 girls run first then grade 4 boys…The distance is approximately 1km.
The next after school Fun Run will take place on MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 25th at Hillgrove (4 p.m.).
