live events

Runners Club will now host running events on both Fridays and Saturdays so kids can run and have fun together!

 

Call for volunteers: We need parent volunteers to help on site (e.g., hand out sticks to kids who finish a lap, assist with the gift exchange, etc.)

 

IMPORTANT: Running events will not be cancelled on rainy days. We also run in the rain. It's just water.

How a morning works

No complicated race format and no pressure to be the fastest runner.

 

1. Arrive + warm up
Kids check in and join a fun rolling warm-up. Late arrivals can jump in without disrupting the group.

2. Run + challenge
Run laps at your own pace. Some mornings will include simple team challenges such as seeing how many laps the whole club can complete together.

3. Collect + head to class
Attendance counts toward the 8-run wristband goal, and each attended session comes with a collectible sticker.
