Our Hernando Runner's Club will begin practice on August 26th. Each child must return a signed permission slip to be a part of the program. There is NO fee to join runner's club. We host practices and events from September through April. Our practices are held from 3:30-4:20 pm, with parent pick-up beginning at 4:25 pm. Each student will participate in form running drills, short and long sprints, hill sprints, and trail/distance runs each practice. Our practices are designed to help each student develop strength and endurance through running. Pleas make sure that each student dresses appropriately for every practice and brings a water bottle with their name on it. Parents are welcome to run with their child and volunteer with the club. All parents must sign in through the front office before coming to EVERY practice.
