Summer Running 2025

If you’re looking for a summer running program for your kids, I’ve got Tuesday & Friday mornings May 27 thru Aug 1. We focus on endurance & strength, and as cross country starts, speed becomes a bigger component. There will be no sessions June 23-27, as I will be out. We will have a session on July 4 (Friday).

I’ve got 2 sections this year:

  • 630-8a for the experienced/returning runners,
  • 8-9a for rising 4th & 5th graders, plus new runners, or those not yet up to 4-6 miles in a run session. This is called “Get Ready to Run”.

The younger/newer crew has different needs based on their developmental stages, physiology, and mental focus.

We meet at Champion Park. The experienced group runs all over the place, the Get Ready to Run group will stay a little closer to the park. Please have your child(ren) bring water and possibly a cooling towel.

Please join our GroupMe for this program to keep up to date and for quick communication.

Club Membership: The Quack Pack

  • Club fee (required): $20/ individual, $30/ family. This gives us liability insurance during our runs. If you joined me for winter, you are already covered through Dec 2025. If you’re joining now, you’re covered until the end of the year. Please complete for each child, and yourself if helping out.

I had rotator cuff surgery on April 24th and will be in a sling through June 5th. Until June 5th and medical clearance, I will be driving to various points along the route to meet up with the kids and carry their water for them. After that, we will have to play it by ear to see if I can bike with the kids. If any parents want to join us, you are more than welcome as it will help keep the kids safe and on task. Please complete a club waiver for yourself as well as for the kid(s). There is no club fee for parents running with us as I appreciate your assistance during this time of healing.
