Run Club (Mornings)

Morning Run & Walk Club

Daily 8:10 AM - 8:25 AM @ Upper Field

Have Fun and Run (or Walk)! The EBS Morning Run & Walk club is a before-school program designed to get kids out on their feet and enjoy the benefits of running, walking and exercise in general while having fun and being rewarded at the same time!

The club takes place before school between 8:10a-8:25a and runs through most of the year. Students get their laps tracked using the latest technology which gains them points, badges and recognitions throughout the year. Students will have access to an online website portal to view their laps/mileage, progress and rewards. Finally, everyone gets to celebrate all of their accomplishments at the of the year "Run Club Ceremony"

Prizes & Ribbons

Throughout the season, runners will accumulate Run Club Coupons (1 coupon for every 25 laps). On Thursdays, a "Prize Tub" is available where runners can turn in their coupons for prizes.

Runners will also be awarded Ribbons every 100 laps. On Fridays, Principal Sloan reads off all of the ribbon winners every week, and the ribbons are presented by the students teacher in their room. The ribbons are usually attached to the runners' backpacks where all of their classmates can see the great accomplishments.

Who Can Run?

Not a “runner”? Not a problem. Many of the students walk. Many students do a combination “run/walk” or more like a walk / jog. At the end of the day, being out there on your feet and moving is what counts!

Have a younger sibling? Bring them! They can run with us! They can even get a badge to record their laps and win prizes!

Moms & Dads, please join us! We get many parents who equally want to be out there on their feet. You can put on the running shoes and jog with us, or simply walk a few laps before you head off to work! Plus you get THE BEST parking spots for school drop-off!

*The 2nd week of school (8/19) will be a "soft launch" where students can come out, check-in, recruit volunteers, get their badges, practice running laps, etc. The 3rd week of school (8/26) will be the official start date, meaning that's when we will start recording laps. But again, you can come out at any time, even after we start the program.

**We end at 8:25am to allow time for students to get to morning breakfast.

Regardless of when you join in the school year, please Arrive at least 10 minutes early on your FIRST DAY to get a badge and learn how things work.

Changes for 2024-25 School Year

The total number of weeks will be reduced by 2 weeks, to allow us to have a 'soft start' at the beginning, and have more time to prepare for the awards assembly, at the end.
No more ROGOs (due to weather, missed days, etc.) they were too much of an administrative burden to manage.
Easier sign-up process. All EBS Students will be added to the lap tracker and have a badge available. You will still have to "sign-up" to get added to the email list, liability waiver, etc. but it will be easier / faster than years past. This will save alot of time in the admin side too.

Volunteer?

Be a part of the cause, and the fun! You'll already be there with your child, and if you're not actually running, you could be helping the club. We need parent volunteers to assist with many aspects of the club, and it could be as simple as 1x per week.
