Do you have a child from 2-16 years old who likes to run or would like to start running? Consider joining The Woodlands Running Club Juniors, a non-competitive youth running program. Runners are required to log 25 throughout the season during scheduled Club runs. The final race of the season is the Woodlands Marathon 2K, whereupon successful completion of 25+ miles during the season AND completion of the race, Junior runners will be awarded a marathon medal in addition to their race medal.
The season kicks off Saturday, September 25th at 8 a.m. at The Woodlands High School 9th grade campus. Please meet in the bleachers next to the track which is located to the rear of the campus. There is ample parking adjacent to the track.
This season will have a focus on personal goals, encouraging the kids to think about how many miles they want to achieve by the end of the season. Many runners pass the 25 mile goal early in the season and they are encouraged to set up a new personal goal to keep working on. In previous years, several runners passed 100 miles and many runners logged more than 50 miles.
Runners from all different levels, abilities and levels of interest are welcomed and celebrated. At the end of the season there are age group awards for runners with the most miles in order to encourage them to keep running even after achieving the 25 miles goal. Parents are also invited to join the kids during organized runs. The Club is seeing an increase in families running together... a win-win for everyone!
