Registration open for Run Club Menlo Park’s spring season

Run Club Menlo Park‘s spring season starts on March 18th, and registration is now open.

Run Club provides a long-distance running program (2K-5K) for kids in 2nd-8th grades from beginner to advanced. Last fall, 133 boys and girls trained together for the fall cross-country season in which they competed in nine races with 19 runners making it all the way to the Junior Olympics Nationals Cross-Country Championships in Shelbyville IN.

This spring season will include two 5K races and one 3K trail run. The First Rule of Run Club: Have Fun! We weave running games and social-emotional lessons into our practices such as gratitude, burden vs opportunity, positive competition, running as a team together, and self-confidence.

Head Coach, Scott Paterson, is a Menlo Park resident since 1996, former NCAA Division I racer, and former Encinal Eagle and Hillview Hawk parent. For full details about the running program including practice location and times, please see the website.
