Why a running club?  It is my belief that some students are motivated to do well in school if they are provided opportunities to express their talents in extraordinary activities away from the classroom. On many occasions, we as parents, educators, and adults, view school subject matter, homework, awards assemblies, etc. as the sole indicator of a child's success or failures.  What we sometimes fail to realize is the "whole child."   Success in the class room coupled with success in extracurricular activities such as choir, band, athletic team, chess club, drama club makes for a well rounded individual ready for the challenges of life.

bulletHow to prepare to run a 5K (3.1 miles)
