2019 Sunflower Running Club
Spring 2019
Sunflower Running Club
Boys and Girls in Grades 3-5 are invited to join the Sunflower Spring 2019 Running Club.
The spring running club focuses on the benefits of exercising and developing a healthy mind and body. As part of the experience, students will train for their own "marathon" of 26.2 miles. Participants will run and log 25 miles during their team practices. The final 1.2 miles will be completed at the Garmin Munchkin Marathon in Olathe, KS on April 13th
Practices
- Munchkin Marathon Running Club will practice on Monday and Thursdays when school is in session.
- Our first day of practice is Thursday, March 7th.
- Practice will begin promptly at 3:15 in the Multi-Purpose Room and ends at 3:55.
- Runners will need to be picked up no later than 4PM each day. This is a must.
