Description:
Our Cross Country Running program is a fitness program for our local kids to explore routes and trails around the Girdwood School, and enjoy the last weeks of warmer weather. Kids will experience running varying distances and challenges, and we invite everyone of 1st to 6th grade ages to participate. We believe strongly in providing a safe, yet exciting, venue for runners to enjoy nature, while also having the opportunity to reflect and challenge themselves.
Runners will be split up according to their speed. Runners are expected to attend all practices, wear proper running shoes plus hat and gloves if needed, and be prepared to run in the rain. Bring a change of clothes to change into afterwards, plus a water-bottle and snack to eat right after school.
We need parent volunteers to run with the kids each week. Please let us know your availability! Call Melanee Stiassny at 907-231-4913.
Hour long sessions will be held twice a week Mondays & Thursdays from 3:15-4:15p after school. Dates are Monday August 26th to Thursday September 19th. NO PRACTICE Labor Day Monday September 2nd. Final event will be a Jamboree held at Service High School on Saturday September 21st.
The FVCS Cross Country Running program will conclude with an (optional) Jamboree is held Saturday September 21st at Service High School from 9am-Noon. This Jamboree is sponsored by Healthy Futures, and is a ton of fun. We are always amazed how our Girdwood kids have the smallest program in the district, but our kids finish towards the top of their age groups. It's beneficial for kids to challenge themselves and participate in a race to see how they measure-up against a large field of other athletes. We strongly encourage you to bring your child and participate in this high energy Healthy Jamboree event!
