ELLSWORTH RUNNING CLUB - SPRING 2015
Four of Ellsworth’s teachers with loads of personal running experience (Mr. Nelson, Mrs. Glenn, Mr. Liszka
and Ms. Foster) are helping us get our Ellsworth students out and learning to run for fun and good health!
WHAT:
Running club will again consist of two components this spring. Tuesday afternoons will include some
running and active games, as in the past. Thursday mornings we continue our “Marathon Club”. This
will be all running of laps with the goal of running a full marathon during the fall and spring sessions of
the Club. You may come in just mornings, just afternoons or both; whatever fits your schedule.
WHERE:
Meet at Ellsworth school gym OR on the playground if the gym is unavailable.
WHEN:
Afternoon sessions begin Tuesday, April 14th through Tuesday, May 5th from 2:30 – 3:15 PM. Morning
sessions begin Thursday, April 16th through Thursday, May 21st from 7:30 – 8:00 AM.
COST:
$10 per student payable to “Ellsworth Home and School” for new runners. $5 for fall runners who already
received their t-shirt.
RACES:
Students may be interested in two spring races. The NCO Youth 1 Mile Obstacle Course race is May 2nd.
The G.L.O.W. 5K RUN is June 6th. More information will be sent home for these races. Races are
optional and students/parents will be responsible for the cost of any race entry fees as well as
transportation to and from races.
T-SHIRTS:

received their shirt. Sizes will be ordered as follows:
