MES Walk/Run Club
MES Walk/RunClub 2025
MES will be starting up our Walk/Run club on Tuesday, April 29! (This is just AFTER EASTER!) We look forward to having as many MES students join as possible. We have two main goals for our Walk/Run club this year,
- Qualify for our color run and
- To promote daily fitness by celebrating students who run every day.
When:
We will run every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at lunchtime starting on April 29 and it will go until our Mini Marathon/Color Run on Friday, June 6.
Where:
We are going to continue using the same route we used last year. We will go out in the field south of the playground (we have a ½ km loop to run). Each day students can go out and see how many laps they can do. They will be given a popsicle stick for every lap they complete and record their progress with their teacher.
Make Up Runs:
We are aware that life happens and students might miss a day or two. We will have three makeup Mondays (May 12th, May 26th, June 2nd) to help students to achieve their goals.
