Excited to announce the continuation of the Thursday Morning Track Run!
Coach Leslie McCleary has been our fearless leader and dedicated “track mom” for the TMTR and I’m proud to keep the tradition going. A big thank you to Coach Leslie for waking up early all these years. She will continue to coach after school track and has promised to drop in on us! She has graciously handed down the program details to me, so here we go!
Please join us Thursday mornings, 7am-7:45am, rain or shine, for a morning group run! No running experience required.
TMTR begins on Thursday, September 26th.
The group will meet at the main school entrance at 7:00am for a stretch then a walking warm-up to the starting line (Corner of 15th St and PPW at Bartel Pritchard Square.)
Students and their grown up(s) will have three options for a morning run/jog/trot (.5 miles, 1 mile, 2 miles.) Following the run and a cool down, students can head home around 7:45am with enough time to return for the school day. The route is an out and back along the PPW sidewalk (outside of the park).
What is Thursday Morning Track Run?
- A weekly morning group run with the PS 107 Track Team.
- A great way for kids and their grown up(s) to run together.
What are the benefits to Thursday Morning Track Run?
- Students not in afterschool can be part of the legendary PS 107 Track Team (and can earn a Track Jacket after completion of a race!)
- Positive social, emotional and physical benefits of group running in a safe and supportive environment.
- Sportsmanship. It’s not a race, it’s a run and we cheer for EVERYONE!
- We do run in the cold and if it snows there will be donuts!
Who can join?
- Open to ALL students K-5 (grown up required for all runners)
- New and seasoned runners are encouraged to join
Thank you and look forward to seeing you all bright and early every Thursday!
