Running teaches me that I am capable of so much more than I ever imagined.

We are looking forward to another great year of Running Club! Please stay tuned for more information about practices and registration - Coach Montoya, our new P.E. Coach, will be sorting out times and dates for regular weekly practices. We want to inspire a love of running in all the Running Club kids!
Running Club typically practices twice a week on the paved track around the soccer field. The School Street gate near the soccer field will be the best place to drop your child off when practices begin. Attendance is taken at every practice session, so please advise your child to check in with the volunteer parent as soon as he or she arrives. Tennis shoes, running appropriate clothing, and a full water bottle are highly recommended. Your child may also want to bring a small hand towel because the kids can get quite sweaty!
We normally train rain or shine. If it is raining, the kids will train under the roof of the covered area. However, for potential severe weather related cancellations, please check the email you provide with registration.
All new and returning student athletes must re-register to participate for the current school year. We request a donation of $30 per child per year. Your donations allow us to buy t-shirts and incentive prizes for the kids, and hold our annual end of the season race, The Mustang Rally - a 400m race for every grade level, held at the Rice Track & Field Stadium in May. The Running Club will also participate in various local running and triathlon races such as the Turkey Trot and the Run of Pi, a 5K fun run hosted every February by Houston Engineers Week.
Hope to see you at Running Club!
Running club "scholarships" are available. Please email runningclub@robertspto.org. Qualifying students will be able to register at no cost.
