The MARATHON (26.2 Miles) is a great accomplishment for any runner. Like all great feats, it has to be tackled with hard work, dedication and perseverance. We are excited to once again offer Kenwood run club to help students build these character strengths. Not only do we hope to establish some healthy habits in our students, but help them build confidence and self-esteem that comes with crossing the finish line. Each runner will have their mileage tracked each day until they reach 26.2 miles, where we will celebrate a FULL MARATHON with each finisher as they cross the finish line.
Our FIRST day will be MONDAY AUGUST 21st. Kenwood Run Club will be offered
Monday through Thursday from August 21st to October 12th (end of 1st quarter). We
will NOT be running on FRIDAYS!
Every student who participates must have a parent permission from (see link below) submitted. These forms need to be completed and submitted by
THURSDAY AUGUST 17th.
Run Club will begin each day at 7:10 am and end at 7:35 am, meeting at the east playground, where participants will check in and check out with our parent volunteers supervising. Note this is not a school sponsored activity, so school staff are not directly involved in supervision.
In case of rain or storms, the day’s run is automatically canceled. There will also be a statement posted on the Kenwood Facebook page.
There are 29 scheduled run days. This will allow committed runners time to complete the 26.2 miles. Encourage your child to try and get at least 3 laps per day (1 mile) so they complete the marathon.
Parent volunteers are needed to help with check in and safety supervision! If you are willing to help, please indicate with your name and phone number in the form submitted for registration. Time commitment would be 7:05-7:40 am 1 to 4 days/week.
Please contact Samantha McCartney at 308-440-6640 with any questions.
Fill out one form per child/runner.
