Kinosayo Running Club

Running Club SEPTEMBER 2024

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 before school (anywhere from 1km to 4km) . When Running Club resumes in January (January to March) the focus will shift to short distance training (sprinting) during lunch recess.

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 9th at 8:05 - 8:45 am. 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 few events that Running Club members will have the opportunity to attend if they are interested and available. Our first running event will be after school on WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11th at Muriel Martin (4 pm). 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 pm. The Fun Run begins at 4:00 pm. 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 WEDNESDAY,  SEPTEMBER 18th at Ronald Harvey. The final after school Fun Run will be at Hillgrove. Similar to the first Fun Run, we will leave right after school (bussed to the event) and participate from 4:00-5:00 pm with parents picking up their child from the school hosting the event. 

The permission sheet Mrs. Herman has sent home with students will have all 3 after school Fun Run dates. Please check off which date(s) your child is planning on attending.
