MES Walk/Run Club

MES Walk/RunClub 2024 

MES will be starting up our Walk/Run club on Tuesday, April 23! We look forward to having as many MES students join as possible. We have two main goals for our Walk/Run club this year,

1. Qualify for our color run and  
2. 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 23 and it will go until our Mini Marathon/Color Run on Friday, May 31.

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 8th, 15th, 29th) to help students to achieve their goals.
