Running Club
MCS Running Club is available for students 2nd – 5th grades and is held on Fridays, immediately following school dismissal. The program begins the first full week of school and 6 Friday sessions are offered. Each session begins with snack and warm up, then head to the field to participate in the weekly lap challenge. Runners run/jog/walk laps for a predetermined amound of time, starting with five minutes and increasing the amount of time gradually each week. All runners are recognized at the end of the season for the milage they have achieved!
Games and team activities are also a part of the sessions where our 5th grade participants serve as leaders for the younger participants. Each meeting ends with stretches.
A t-shirt, snacks and water on the field are all provided by our Cardinal Collective. Volunteers help organize and lead sessions. Registration for this program opens on or around July 1 and is limited to 40 runners.
