Run Club Essentials

Funded Sep 21, 2024

The Run/Walk Club is a growing club that invites all levels of ability. We currently have 60 members (grades 6-8) and accept more members throughout the year. As a club we promote the importance of healthy choices and movement. On nice days (no rain/snow on ground) we trek to the park for a 3 mile course. Students have the option to run or walk. Some days it turns into a nature walk. What matters is that they are outside, off their devices, and working with their peers.

Throughout the year we register for events and the students are able to compete in local fun runs - this is especially nice for the students who get "cut" from teams. When the weather does not cooperate we rely on indoor workouts to keep the students involved. The yoga mats provided us with a clean, comfortable environment to stretch and practice balance using isometric holds. Your generosity is greatly appreciated and the students are excited to continue to create goals for healthier futures.

Thank you from the IS 27 Run/Walk Club!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Ehresman
