The purpose of the running club is to give kids another option to be a part of an athletic group that is non-competitive but still very much about exercise and learning how to run. The club would follow the curriculum developed by the Kids Run the Nation program created by the Road Runners Club of America. The curriculum has ideas and outlines on content for the practices and different/fun activities
Eligibility: The program would be for boys and girls, ages 8-13 years old
Season dates:
- Spring would start Around April 1st and finish at end of May while looking to then participate in the Stinger Sprint.
- Fall would begin in September and finish at the end of October while looking to possibly participate in an event.
Both seasons could see an optional weekday practice.
Location: The club will meet at a few different locations in the area to run. Some locations may include Lopatcong Park, Phillipsburg X-C course at the athletic fields on Belvidere Road and Greenwich Elementary School.
