Fit Girls Run Club Fall 2017 session is starting
soon!
Registration opens on September 18
The Fit Girls Run Club is an independent
running and reading program for Village School girls in 4th, 5th and 6th grades
that builds self-esteem and confidence, and helps girls connect with and give
back to their community. Girls progress at their own “just right” pace,
while also participating in our educational curriculum that includes topics
such as goal setting, self-esteem, confidence, teamwork, and more. The program is open and welcoming to all
girls and no prior running experience is necessary.
The bulk of the
program consists of non-competitive workouts designed to gradually and safely
build endurance to run or walk the 5k (3.1 mile) race distance. At the conclusion of the program the girls
participate in a 5k as they celebrate both fitness and community. The program
also aims to build self-esteem and confidence through the regular group
discussions, and promotes supportive and positive relationships among all
participants. It is important that all
participants are willing to work towards accomplishing a 5k fitness goal! For
the program to work, participants need to be excited and motivated. Please have a conversation with your daughter
before registering to ensure this is a choice and commitment she would like to
make.
PROGRAM DETAILS:
When: The Marblehead group will meet
Tuesday and Thursday from 2:45-4:00PM from October 3-November 14. We meet rain or shine. There is no Fit Girls if there is no
school. The curriculum and training are
much more beneficial and meaningful when girls are committed to attending both
days so 2 day participation will be
mandatory. If there are more than 3
unexcused absences, future participation will be reviewed.
Where: We meet in the
Village cafeteria and train on the track and on the sidewalks around Village.
Cost: $75.00
– (for training program, race entry, program supplies and Fit Girls shirt). Please
note that scholarships are available. Please contact us at fitgirlsMHD@gmail.com for more information.

VOLUNTEERS:
We are seeking
volunteers to help as coaches again this season. We ask that coaches commit to attending at a
minimum of one day per week but can certainly attend two. A regular schedule ensures we have enough
coaches each session to help out. Running experience is not necessary! Please email us if you are able to be
involved this session.
